The Irish Fest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is huge. There is music, dancing, shows, vendors of many sorts (didn't think about looking for a discovery map last year when I was there - there were many book vendors there though in the genealogy tent), food, travel . . . .all are things to do with Ireland!!! A guaranteed wonderful time!!!
