It was a gorgeous day for an Irish Festival and the crowds at the annual Penn’s Landing fest on Sunday filled the stands. . .er, steps, to hear and cheer their favorite bands (Blackthorn, the Hooligans, and Jamison on the main stage), enjoy some “Irish ice,” and wade in the fountains.
They were also there to cheer on two stalwarts of the Irish community, Irish Edition photographer Tom Keenan, and WTMR radio host Marianne MacDonald, who were honored for their service to all things Irish.
Photographer Gwyneth MacArthur represented www.irishphiladelphia.com (the rest of us had to miss our first fest in five years) and captured the flavors and frivolity of the day.
