Ohio Irish/Celtic Festivals - late July 2009
To all Ohio Redhedd's and from "nearby" states:

Hi all, meant to write before now, but I'll be throwing some more info up here today/tomorrow and with some more teasers through the next 2 weeks.

Any redheads/Redhedd's that are coming to these, leave a comment and maybe we can meet up.

Next weekend,

Dayton Celtic Festival
July 24 - July 26, 2009
http://www.unitedirishofdayton.org/Festival/

3 stages of entertainment and loads of vendors.  I've heard the location may be different this year, but the riverfront was spectacular last year!  Saturday night they continue the party at one of the local Irish pubs.  I'll post more info, videos, and pics on Sunday.

My personal picks:
Gaelic Storm will perform 4 times: 1 Friday, 2 Saturday, 1 Sunday

Cleveland Irish Festival
July 24- July 26, 2009

27th annual and a great festival from what I've heard.  6 stages of music and entertainment!

My personal picks:
Seven Nations and The Prodigals will be performing each night!
