Highlights include live music from a variety of bands including native Irish music; a variety of food and specialty vendors; and lots of green to be seen!
Ireland ’s Call will be returning direct from Ireland to play a fusion of classic Irish tunes and rock. This year’s addition to the line-up is a band called the Killdare’s out of Dallas , TX . They are known for their brand of hard driving, alternative Celtic rock. The band uses unconventional pairings of screaming, fire-driven fiddle and bagpipes with the wail of electric guitar, bass and drums to create brilliant arrangements. The band’s incredible stage presence is nothing short of awesome.

Outside Stage- Direct from Ireland , “ Ireland ’s Call” and special guest from Dallas , TX “the Killdares”.
Inside Stage- “Mike O’Neil & Daddy-O” plus “AA Bottom”
