The 1st Killarney Adventure Film Festival, Ireland
7th – 10th April, 2011
A moving picture festival, showing adventure sports films. It’s the first one so see the website and make a judgement on whether it’s worth going to.
UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, Pietermaritzburg, Russia
23rd – 24th April, 2011
American Express Queenstown Winter Festival, Queenstown, New Zealand.
24th June – 3rd July, 2011
‘The Festival is New Zealand’s biggest winter party. It’s a 10 day celebration of Queenstown’s unique culture and community with street parties, fireworks, international and local acts, jazz, comedy, a Mardi Gras, family fun, Masquerade Ball, an Invitational Slopestyle event and plenty of Mountain Mayhem.’ Hmm not exactly adventure sports orientated – seems like more of a knees-up. Not sure we should have it on this events list we can keep it because it does mention a ‘Slopestyle event’.

8th – 10th July, 2011
