Vendors, performers and attendees covered the fields at Carrie Blast Furnace last weekend for the 32nd annual Irish Festival. The event was “created to contribute to the rich cultural awareness of Irish history and tradition that exists in Pittsburgh,” a goal it has achieved and exceeded, according to Philadelphia resident and event volunteer Shannon Lambert-Ryan. .
Tickets are now on sale for the three-day Pittsburgh Irish Festival in September, the Celtic celebration which features live music, dance, children's activities, marketplace, genealogy, comedy, Irish cuisine, and more!
