Spend Labor Day at Irish Fest
An epic celebration spanning September 2-4, Irish Fest at the Crown Center, is just what you need now that St. Patrick’s Day is a full six months away! Comedy shows, tastings, shops and food, activities for the kids, cultural activities, and of course plenty of live music and dancing is yours for the taking. With seven stages, 30 bands and the biggest children’s arena yet, it’s the perfect destination for the long weekend.
Heritage workshops, including genealogy seminars, are held throughout the weekend so you can trace your ancestry and find out just how Irish you are. Celtic pride is on full display, and you’re encouraged to come kitted out in your best Irish attire. Whiskey tastings are always popular, and the Jameson Tent serves it up how you like it with live music and generous pours.
Luck of the Irish
The Culture Café is where you can enjoy small and intimate performances with local and international performers.
