Those Fabulous 50's

Fifty nine days now is all that stands between you and the 7th annual Kansas City Irish Fest. Fifty nine days and a hotel reservation are all that stands between you and your best ever Kansas City Irish Fest. Allow me to elaborate.

Sean came to Irish Fest on Saturday.He spent the day listening to music, checking out the feis, doing a little shopping. He learned some stuff at the heritage area. He ate some great food. Saturday night he heard more great music and danced and had beers with friends. At 11:00 when the Irish Fest gates closed he went home, fed the dog, watched a little TV and went to bed. A good day.

Sorcha came to Irish Fest on Saturday. She spent the day listening to music, checking out the feis, doing a little shopping. She learned some stuff at the heritage area. She ate some great food. That night she heard more great music and danced and had beers with friends. At 11:00 when the Irish Fest gates closed she headed the short distance down the road to Raglan Road Irish Restaurant and Pub for our star studded after-party. More live music and frivolity reigned there. Later, energetic girl that she is, she shuttled back to the Hyatt Regency Hotel at Irish Fest. She headed to Spectators Bar where she found several Irish Fest performers in a blazing session. She met some of the people she'd seen on stage that day and night. She danced a little, picked up some fiddling tips, and partied until closing time. Then she took the short elevator ride but to her luxurious yet reasonably priced room to bed. A great day. And the next day she did it all over again with the free festival ticket she got when she checked in.

If option B sounds like your kind of Irish Fest experience, book that room at either of our anchor hotels. They're both on the grounds, both discounted and both include fest tickets. You can't go wrong...unless of course you wait too long and the rooms are all taken.

Better do it now.
