Irish Fair Minnesota

August 11-13th 2006
St. Paul, MN

FREE ADMISSION
Join us on the banks of the Mississippi River for a three-day celebration of Irish heritage with music, dance, family activities and good craic. Since 2001, beautiful Harriet Island Regional Park in downtown St. Paul has hosted the Irish Fair. The festival is recognized as one of the most family-friendly events in the Twin Cities, one of the most authentic Irish festivals nationwide and an amazingly great time by the nearly 100,000 people who attended last year.

Come by, listen to the music, and watch the dancers. All the activities and events at the Fair are completely FREE
