Limerick’s year as National City of Culture is drawing to a close and what a year it has been. With the end looming what better way to celebrate this marvellous year than by throwing a huge party?!
Limerick’s Winter Carnival took place in the city on December 27. A number of fun, crazy, interesting and simply brilliant events took place throughout the day all across the city.
