Kicking off on Friday with the debut of a new art exhibition at the Kunstverein, and music from The Rebel Souls and Bruiser on a marquee stage next to Aughrim's iconic monument, children danced and played chase on Main Street, while parents (and grandparents) came out in droves to soak up the summer heat and festivities, which were set to a soundtrack of reggae, rock and trad by talent from across the Garden County. The festival reached fever pitch on Saturday, with a full day of events being held at the Aughrim Pavilion, where gold panning, a sensory tent, and some explosive science experiments were part of the children's entertainment. Musicians such as Settle the Scór and Dogpond played to much fanfare from the audience, while a dramatic Irish mythology performance from CandleLit Tales had Aughrim enraptured. Following two days of good weather and great attendance, with some visitors coming from as far as Drogheda, festival director Barry Reid and musical director Tristan McCall brought this years festival – which seems set to become a mainstay of the Wicklow summer calendar – to a close, thanking attendees and reminding them: 'Same time, same place next year!'.
