The event unfolded as a resounding success, leaving an indelible mark on the audience with its vibrant atmosphere and lively entertainment.

The carnival’s allure was evident from the enchanting scene that unfolded, featuring a gay and festive throng elegantly gliding in pairs or participating in the march past. The spirited tunes from the Royal Munster Fusiliers’ band heightened the jubilant ambiance, contributing to an unforgettable experience for all in attendance. The promenades were alive with the infectious energy of the crowd, underscoring the Limerick Rink’s status as a central social hub in the city.

The Rink’s undeniable appeal has made it a significant draw, with the executive sparing no effort to cater to their ever-expanding patronage. The success of the carnival stands as a testament to their meticulous planning and unwavering dedication to providing an experience that is both enjoyable and memorable for the community.

Adding an extra layer of excitement to the carnival was the prize-giving ceremony, where spectators played a crucial role in determining the winners through ballot-cards.
