Despite mud and rain events rocked

ONE of the wettest weekends this year may have put a damper on two of the South Coast’s big events.

The two-day Portuguese Mariners’ Festival in Munster did not enjoy the same great turnout as it had last year.

Despite the disappointing crowd, there was a great atmosphere and worthwhile venturing out in the rain. Festival-goers enjoyed great entertainment, superb cuisine and a range of Portuguese beers to keep any ale lover satisfied.

And although it was very damp underfoot, the annual German bazaar was anything but a washout as parishioners and the public braved the weather to support this hardy annual.
