WSJ – Dec 9 – This year, ~60K singles descended on Lisdoonvarna, a former spa town, for a six-week-long matchmaking festival. Matchmaking has become a cottage industry for the town of ~700 residents, which gets an annual boost from those looking for love. People meet at the dances throughout the festival, starting at noon and often ending at 3am. Most attendees are Irish, but more English and Americans have been coming in recent years.
