The great Irish playwright John B. Keane said that the "Galway races are a state of mind".
Whether or not you are a regular follower of horse racing, the only requirement for Galway racegoers is to know how to have fun!
One of the high points of the Summer holiday season in Galway, it has become one of the fastest gowing festivals in the world. The sights and sounds of the occasion all assail your senses at once from the sight of constantly changing faces; horses; myriad colours of silks and clothing; sound of laughter; roars of triumph; challenging tone of bookies and the smell of the newly intruded-upon turf.
The excellent racing, oyster bars, champagne and beer tents, jazz bands, trade stands and the Best Dressed Lady Competition on the Thursday. It is this intoxicating atmosphere that leaves one powerless to resist thus getting swept away by the thrill of it all.
So don't let this year's festival go by without putting in an appearance. Start planning now, get the time of work, book your flights and hotel right now! How long before it starts again?
