Guinness book of Records - Irish Dancing drag queens!

Guinness book of record – At the 2010 Kingscourt festival, we will be attempting the longest line of irish dancing drag queens!! The record is 60.

Bungee Run added to Street Entertainment!

A barrel of laughs for all ages! Two contestants wear a harness with a giant bungee cord attached. As they run down their lane, the participants try to place velcro markers at the furthest point possible before the bungee cord pulls them back with hillarious results.

Pillow Wars added to kingscourt Street Entertainment!

Pillow Fighting at it's Best !! Grab an oversized foam filled pillow and try and knock your opponent ( boss, wife, best friend or enemy ) off the pole and on to the inflatable bed. A fun filled game for 2 people, suitable for adults or kids, which is as much fun to watch as it is to take part in.

Bronco Bull added to street festival schedule!

The object of this game is to stay on the bucking bronco for as long as possible as he bucks and spins just like in the real cowboy task of Rodeo Bull Riding. This unit is the most up to date rodeo equipment available today with pre set programmes , manual controls and twin timing clocks for real life competitions. One clock gives the current riders time in seconds while the other gives the best time of the day, or in other words the time to beat. Best of all this unit is fitted with an instant stop button to ensure riders safety, when a rider falls off the bull stops immediately.

The countdown to the 2010 Festival in Kingscourt begins....we are launching our new website http://www.kingscourtfestival.ie/ for St. Patrick's Day! We will start by sharing some of the great memories of the 2009 Festival! Check them out...
