Kinsale is the first landfall in Europe for the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and the town is hosting a Kinsale Clipper Stopover Carnival to welcome the participants. The Carnival will take place from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th July 2010.
The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is a ten-month event during which a fleet of identical racing yachts cross all the world's major oceans and visit ports on six continents during the 35,000-mile race, around the planet. The race is due in Kinsale on the first weekend of July, the first European stopover, so let us all ensure that it’s no one will forget.
The Kinsale Carnival is sponsored by Cork County Council, Cork City Council and Failte Ireland.
