At about 22:30, the precession started, and the marshals encouraged the gathered crowd to follow. There were a LOT of people there; it felt like half the town turned up.

Last night the Seven Rivers of the Sun came to Clonmel. A combination parade and precession, this is a festival of light and fire (a surprising amount of fire) which would be right at home at Diwali and possibly Nowruz.
