The Barrow Dragon Boat Regatta’s back in Carlow today.
There’s plenty of colour amid the competitive edge on the river at the town park.
Racing runs from 10am to 5:40pm while support would be hugely appreciated for the usual fundraiser selling homemade treats and refreshments there.
Also worth watching out for the Lion Dance scheduled for 1.20pm – this is a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture in which performers mimic a lion’s movements in a lion costume, it’s believed to bring good luck and drive away evil spirits on auspicious occasions.
