It's a bumper festival weekend everybody and we're capturing pictures and updates in a live blog this weekend.
We'll have updates from five of the weekend's festivals, including the Festival of Fires in Westmeath and the Roscommon Lamb Festival, where we can confirm the county's sheep are ready to race...:)
Our bloggers will be at Limerick's Riverfest, the Ballydehob Jazz Festival and the festival that uniquely celebrates the campervan lifestyle, Louth's Vantastival.
Join in with your own updates and pictures from wherever you are to #festivalfever - we'd love to hear from you.

And we’re off! There’s a whole lotta festival fun happening around the country this weekend. No matter the weather, this is the official start of the summer…
Our bloggers are primed and ready to bring you pictures and updates, but we’d love to hear from you too. We’ll be looking for your pictures at #festivalfever, and you’re welcome to comment too within the blog.
A bit of a flavour first from some of the festivals we’re covering in the blog….. -
This is surely the Year of the Campervan, with all manner of them due to make the journey to Poznan in a matter of weeks. In the meantime though, the campervan will have another day in the sun at this weekend’s Vantastival. Uniquely in Ireland, this festival in Bellurgan Park, Co Louth celebrates everything to do with the campervan lifestyle…which is what, we hear you ask? Well, we’re stuck at a newsdesk collecting bloggy info, so will defer to our man on the ground Mark Staunton to explain – watch out for his pix and updates later.
We do know though that it doesn’t stop at the door of the vans – Vantasival has a very respectable three stages of live music and entertainment with up to 70 acts over the course of the weekend. -
