Musikfest draws to a close on Saturday (local Irish group Tin Kettle is playing), but there’s still plenty of Irish going on this weekend.
St. Patrick’s RC Church in Norristown is holding its 15th annual Irish festival on church grounds. There’ll be music, dancing, food, vendors and a Mass of the Golden Rose on Sunday.
If you’re in Jersey, McDermott’s Handy–that’s Dennis Gormley and Kathy DeAngelo–will be performing at Tuckerton Seaport on Saturday night, and Paddy’s Well will be at Lighthouse Pointe in Wildwood, no doubt tuning up for the AOH Irish Festival in North Wildwood at the end of September.
On Sunday, the Philadelphia Shamrocks and Allentown Hibernians (juniors and seniors) are closing up an exciting hurling season at Cardinal Doughtery High School. Next stop for one team: the national finals. The teams have invited everyone to the end-of-season party at the St. Stephen’s Green bar at 1701 Green Street, in Philadelphia’s Fairmount section, starting at 8 PM.
Next big Irish push: Septemeber, with the Philadelphia Ceili Group’s annual music festival kicking off the second weekend, and the AOH’s Irish Festival in North Wildwood on the third weekend. Check out our calendar for all the details. Just be quiet about it. It’s resting up for all the fun.
