sagre, feste ed eventi in irlanda (estate 2005)

Ciao ragazzi,
ma in irlanda le sagre sono diffuse come qui in Italia?
C'è qualcuno che ne conosce di carine e poco turistiche.
io sarò nel sud ovest tra il 12 ed il 27 luglio, ma chi più ne ha più ne metta!

grazie

Mi dispiace che tu sia fuori dal periodo, ma per quanto mi riguarda, dal 10 al 12 agosto cercherò di non perdermi la mitica Puck fair di Killorglin, co. Kerry, tra la costa settentrionale della Penisola del Kerry e Tralee. E' famosissima da sempre in tutta l'Irlanda, e il clou della festa è la cosiddetta "Incoronazione del caprone"...

Più che le sagra ti consiglierei di tener d'occhio i programmi dei vari Fleadh, ovvero manifestazioni di musica folk che, specialmente tra primavera e autunno, sono diffusissimi in tutta l'Irlanda.
Solitamente vi partecipano i migliori musicisti sulla piazza, non spendi una lira (a parte per le pinte d'obbligo se entro in un pub per una session), ti diverti e ascolti tanta buona musica dal vivo!
Prova a controllare il sito http://www.comhaltas.com/
oppure http://entertainment.ie/ e non te ne pentirai!

Good luck!
