Kansas City Irish Fest

Okay, it's not that big a secret. It's us, Irish Fest. We love you, and we don't care who knows it! We love you so much that we've been working hard since last Labor Day weekend to bring you another great Kansas City Irish Fest, just 197 days away. We've got the first round of confirmed performers on our website now with more big names in the works.

On that list you'll find one of my favorite bands, Gaelic Storm who put on such great shows last year and scheduled to return to Irish Fest in '08. But you don't have to wait those 197 days to catch another great set by Murphy, Twigger and the band in Kansas City. Gaelic Storm will be here March 1st at The Beaumont Club, 4050 Pennsylvania in Westport. The all-ages show kicks off the St. Patrick's Day season as only Gaelic Storm can at 8:00PM. It will be a titanic show! Ha! Get it?? Titanic? Gaelic Storm played in that movie a few years ago? No? Anyway, call 816-561-2560 for more details and I will see you there.

If you're a regular reader of Tir na Blog, the daily voice of Irish Fest, you may know that we've been nominated once again as Kansas City's Best Festival, an honor we won last year. We want back-to-back victories and if you live outside the 5 county Kansas City metro area (or will forward this to someone who does) you can help with your vote. Just go to the Visitors Choice Awards website, www.visitkc.com/visitorschoice and make yourself heard. And when you vote, you'll be entered to win a Kansas City vacation get-away. Speaking of get-aways, our two on-site anchor hotels are booking now for Irish Fest weekend, with discounted rates and fest tickets included. Book yours now!
