On Saturday, there is something for everyone with free family events including photo opportunities, face painting, exhibitions and stands.  There will be an acoustic blues jam session in Johnny Frank’s Bar throughout the day.

Saturday evening’s Rock and Blues line-up includes David King, Paddy Goodwin, The Stone Cold Hobos, The Jamie Stanton and Roadkill Revival, and Inglorious Bar Stewards.  All musicians are playing for Kerry S.P.C.A as well as lights and sound sponsored by Alan Johnson Sound.

On Sunday, there will be a slow bike race and chill session with rock DJ Dave Foley to end the festival.

Kerry S.P.C.A. is a 24 hour, 365 day a year service providing shelter to neglected and injured animals.  The organisation is completely run by volunteers and relies heavily on public donations and fundraising to assist in the prevention of cruelty to animals.

K.S.P.C.A. has been on the go since 1960 and in that time thousands of animals and birds have been rescued and each with its own story.   The festival will raise badly needed money to keep K.S.P.C.A in operation and help with essential kennel and cattery upgrades.

Advance tickets are now available from the Meadowlands Hotel and a limited number available on the night.  Raffles and spot prizes are organized throughout the weekend.
