Celebrating Kilkenny's Heritage and People.
Banners fly from the walls and turrets.
All around there is the noise, bustle and colour of the fair. Hawkers sell their wares. In clusters of stalls and stands, weavers, stonemasons, blacksmiths, candle makers, quilters, and other traditional artisans, labour at their crafts. Cheers go up as archers compete for the coveted black arrow. Fires crackle as food cooks, games . and entertainments draw hoots of laughter, a dding to the cacophony from the . prize-animal enclosure.
