SUMMARY:Berea Fairgrounds Brims With Irish Culture All Weekend at the Annua
 l Irish Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nFri 7/17-Sun 7/19\nThe Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival\, ta
 king place at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds\, is really big and a really
  big deal. It honors one of northeast Ohio’s most numerous ethnic groups
  — and no\, they’re not ALL judges.\nThe entertainment\, taking place 
 on four stages\, is huge (nearly 30 acts)\, with touring acts such as Sola
 s\, the High Kings\, Ally the Piper\, Derek Warfield &amp\; the Young Wolf
 e Tones\, the Byrne Brothers and Screaming Orphans\, along with popular lo
 cal Irish bands such as Brigid’s Cross\, the Portershanks and Marys Lane
 .\, as well as the West Side Irish American Club Pipes and Drums and the 8
 7th Cleveland Pipe Band. Performing for the first time is the oddly named 
 Stepdads of Galway which even more oddly features Cleveland comedian Mike 
 Polk Jr. And of course every Irish dance school in the area will have its 
 time onstage. There’s even a special stage for kids with magic\, pirates
  and “Celtic Cinderella.”\nAnd that’s just the start. You don’t ha
 ve to simply watch: you can take part as well. There’s a try-a-harp demo
 \, workshops to learn a variety of Irish dances\, opportunities to meet th
 e performers\, cooking demonstrations\, a contra dance\, a “learn to spe
 ak Gaelic” class\, and more. There are exhibits about Irish life\, cultu
 re and history\, Irish food and dance\, and fun things for kids to do. Go 
 here for tickets.\nclevelandirish.org\n[mappress mapid="1701"]
