The Cartoon Festival

This festival is a small annual festival held every July in the village of Rathdrum, Co Wicklow. It attracts cartoonists from a number of countries and there is a great atmosphere around the village for the duration of the festival. There are some cartoon based events held for both adults and children. My son attended a stop motion animation workshop for kids which was great fun. As well as the workshops there are also activities in the village square – local bands, a magician, a trapeze artist who let the kids try out some trapeze and a small market.
