inspired by the
Lisoonvarna matchmaking festival
Our matchmaking festival is inspired by the legendary Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival in Ireland, a 165 year old celebration of love, music, and community that brings singles together from around the world. After being sent this festival more times than we could count, we knew it was time to bring a similar event to LA.
