The Irish Fair of Minnesota August 7, 2008

In the winter St. Paul has the St. Patrick's Day Parade, and in the summer, the Irish Fair of Minnesota takes over Harriet Island for three days in August. The free festival has Irish sports (men in kilts!) music (Flogging Molly!) as well as food and drink, children's activities, Irish dancers, a cultural area, Irish dogs and more. It's one of Minnesota's biggest festivals and it's all free.
