Arlington Heights to go Irish
Later this month, the Arlington Heights Museum will be presenting its Irish Fest.
Irish music and dancing will be the focus of the evening’s entertainment. The audience will be invited to take part in singing the well-known Irish lilts played by ‘Cirrus Falcon’. ‘The Trinity Irish Dancers’, who have won the World Championship of Irish Dance 14 times, will then take the stage. Pictures taken of this group would surely make interesting subjects for later poster printing.
Other bands will be ‘One of the Girls’ and ‘Second Time Around’. Saturday’s lineup will be ‘McNulty Irish Dancers’, ‘Small Potatoes’, ‘Mulligan Stew’ and ‘Mike and Joe’.
Irish activities will include learning how to jig, a ceilidh (Irish folkdance) workshop, and a raffle. Children will have a Wee Folk Tent where they can enjoy games, face painting, balloon twisting, and indoor games.
Adult tickets will be $5. On Friday, children under the age of 15 will be free. However, on Saturday, tickets for children aged 3 to 14 will younger tots getting in free.
The event is scheduled for July 15 and 16, on the grounds of the Arlington Heights Museum at the corner of Van and Euclid here in town. On Friday, the fest will go from 5:00 pm until 11:00 pm. For the Saturday, the event begins at 4:00 pm and will go until 11:00 pm.
