Come feel the luck of the Irish and drink to your good fortune during a Jameson tasting. Planning on a vacation? Check out the travel tents for deals on Irish vacations. Those of you with children, there is a designated area for kid friendly fun! Rock out with one of the Celtic bands or get fancy with the cloggers. This event has fun for everyone.
