And what a great place for it.

Northeast Irish Philly is awash in Irish, and they came out on Sunday to listen to groups like the Sean Fleming Band and the Bogside Rogues, shop for tasty Irish treats, jewelry, T-shirts and other goodies. The Fitzpatrick Dancers from Bucks County strutted their stuff from time to time.

On a miserably hot day–and we’ll probably all be wishing for a miserably hot day when we’re all breaking out our snow-blowers in February–many festival-goers found relief from the heat in the shady picnic area. Handily, it was right next to the beer pavilion.

There was also a birthday celebration. Let’s all wish Peg McKenna a happy 60th, and also wish for another Northeast Philly Irish Festival next year.

And a bit cooler weather.

Here are photos from the day.
