Is the decades festival the same style as the Mardi Gras? i.e drinking on the street with plastic cups.

Nothing really special about it so! You can hear 80s, 90s and 00s music in most pubs/clubs at the weekend.

I think the organisers of the Kilkenny Comedy Fest, Galway Races, Cork Jazz etc etc, can rest easy. The Decades festival was a joke. I saw no more than 10 people in costume and they could have been a hen party. Callling this a "festival" was pulling the urine. Tacky sh1te.
I can't believe that publicans in the Market area were promoting this and expecting people to swallow that they were putting on a "festival".

I enjoyed the Sunday night. I found it was brilliant craic!

And you can't blame them for trying. They are trying to get people into the area and spending again, so its something to build on for next year. Not to mention - The weather and the date was ****e.

I'am a regular in Nancys but to be fair that whole area has become very tacky and cheap. Big flashy adds in the post with absolutely nothing new being offered to the punter is a bit of an insult. The Facebook page was full with loads of "whoop whoop" and "pubs will be pulling out all the stops" FFS, as previous poster said did you see Chaplins line up? The website wasn't even updated. We ended up on one of the nights staying in Mickeys. Come to think of it wouldn't a weekend like that be far better in the Thomas St with Burkes and Mickeys and others there?

They need an indie / hipster festival instead

Something a bit more unique... could do loads of stuff like an 'open mic' dj slot - a few indie/electro bands like Jape etc. in Bourkes. They played there for free a while back, I'm sure they'd do it again. A mix of djs and bands, would be good and something different.
