Getting in the mood for St. Paddy’s Day: Weekend in Lisdoonvarna

The Matchmaker Bar in Lisdoonvarna where the real-life Willie Daly helps his clients find true love.

“Weekend in Lisdoonvarna” is in Kings River Life Magazine today. My story is set in the real town of Lisdoonvarna in western Ireland, where a matchmaking festival is held throughout the month of September every year. The festival started 160 years ago to find wives for local farmers. Today, tens of thousands of people from around the world visit the small town in September to dance, drink, listen to some of Ireland’s best country music, look for love, and enjoy the craic. This town really knows how to party!

Liquid courage for those looking for love in Lisdoonvarna.
