More than 100,000 people enjoying Limerick’s largest four day summer festival, Riverfest 2018, worth an estimated €5m-€7m to the Mid-West
Bright sunshine, warm temperatures and a host of new visitor experiences drew the crowds to Limerick for the festival which was a carnival of activity and variety, with thrilling new attractions that wowed the crowds including the Seabreacher Shark – a dare-devil aquatic spectacle in an 18ft ‘shark-craft’ that travelled at speeds of up to 80km per hour across the river Shannon.
The water-based activities for the Limerick Strand Hotel Riverfest on the Shannon also saw huge numbers enjoying the popular double zip line across the water while zorbing, kayaking, and a social swim had many getting a different perspective of the great river.
