Kinvara is situated in South County Galway, Ireland, just on the edge of the world renowned "Burren" on Galway Bay. Often described in tourist guides and other publications as a "Picturesque Seaside Village", this is a description that not many will argue with.

Kinvara is host to two wonderful festivals each year. Cruinniu na mBad, meaning "Gathering of the Boats", is a festival held in August each year, which brings us back in time, to when the majestic Galway Hookers used to transport turf/peat to Kinvara. 2002 will be the 24nd anniversary of the festival. And Fleadh na gCuach, meaning "The Cuckoo Festival" is a Traditional Irish Music Festival held on the May Bank Holiday Weekend. Heading for its 9th year.
