The festival was started in 2011 in Blackrock by Fionnghuala Ní Néill who had this to say of the two day event: We are delighted with the evolution of the festival over the last number of years. Thanks to our generous volunteers and sponsors it continues to be a great success and I am delighted for this year’s winners.
