Milwaukee Irish Fest

There is no better Irish Festival in the WORLD than the Milwaukee Irish Fest, which takes place every August in the great city of Milwaukee WI. Niamh and John packed their shorts and sunglasses and off they went, to greet 100,000 fans of Irish music and culture. Both spoke at the Irish Studies Hedge School – Niamh on the history of women from suffrage to repeal, and John about the work of The Wishing Chair Foundation, and they both did plenty of chatting about the fantastic January trip back to Donegal and Dublin. You can read all about this trip here.  We also got to check out the amazing local band The Screaming Orphans, who did Bundoran proud as usual! Huge thanks to our helpers Nancy and Susan, and Connie & the gang who made a special visit to see us!. Thanks to everyone who stopped by – see you in January!
