Well this is a fantastic event. Set on extensive grounds with numerous (at least 6) stages this event really pleases the crowds with a wide range of Irish vendors, cultural events, lectures, exhibits and an entertainment line up that may be the best in the US. The weather cooperated this year which was great, last year lightning caused a temporary evacuation on Sunday.
Had a long chat with Chris Byrne and Rachael of Shanachai and the Unity Squad, great Irish performers and patriots. We later heard that Chris receltly completed his Masters degree and is now teaching a class in Criminal Law at a New York University. A multi talented guy indeed - one time Police Officer, musician, business man (owns his own pub), political guru and now a Professor. Well done Chris, now take a bow and get some rest.
We rate this as the best event in the US, are you familiar with this event? Let us know your thoughts.
