Irish Festival moving to Crown Center

Post by dangerboy »

I recently read in The Wednesday Magazine that the Irish Festival is moving to Crown Center this year. Sounds like they are still nervous about the rifverfront, after being rained out last year.

Does this mean inside? This festival should be at the riverfront. I understand they got killed by the rain last year, but that was a freak storm. I would hope they'd give it another shot. Oktoberfest seems to be doing pretty good.

not inside, at the festival area, near the ice rink. But, if it rains, it can be easily moved indoors. One nice thing about it being at CC, is that people will likely head to Union Station. And they'll see the lofts going into the Crossroads area, so it may end up being a nice PR thing for the area.
Are you sure we're talking about the same God here, because yours sounds kind of like a dick.
