ICC to host 23rd annual Boston Irish Festival
By Canton CitizenThe 23rd annual Boston Irish Festival will be held this weekend, June 7-9, on the grounds of the Irish Cultural Centre of New England, located at 200 New Boston Drive in Canton.
Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul
This three-day extravaganza of “all things Irish” will feature continuous live music, dance, sports, shopping, food, and demonstrations of language, arts, genealogy, and children’s activities. As the largest Irish festival on the East Coast, the weekend promises to offer something for everyone!
This year’s lineup of performances brings the festival’s musical entertainment to a new level with Eileen Ivers and her band Immigrant Soul kicking off the weekend with a Friday night concert. On Saturday evening, the Canadian band of sisters Searson, together with Black 47, a well-established Irish rock band, will entertain all night long. On Sunday afternoon, the internationally acclaimed dance phenomenon Atlantic Steps will bring their dynamic and high-kicking performance to the main stage.
With its five music stages, the festival will feature hundreds of musicians, including American Rogues, Albannach, Rakish Paddy, Devri, Ciaran Nagle, and the Rebel Kellys.
The festival will also feature a 5k road race on Sunday morning, a tug-of-war competition and Irish football games on both Saturday and Sunday, and will try to break the world record for the largest gathering of redheads on Saturday afternoon. Shopping, Irish food, children’s entertainment, and fun for the whole family will be in full swing all weekend long.
