It's A Date

Everywhere you see something about Irish Fest, be it a poster, a billboard or this very blog, you see those dates: September 3-5. I bet you've got those numbers memorized. I'm sure that if you saw a hobo holding up a cardboard sign that says "Need To Know When Irish Fest Is. God Bless" you could helpfully shout out "September 3-5!"

Only you'd be wrong.

Because a couple of our partners don't think that those three days are nearly enough Fest fun. So on Wednesday, September 1st Raglan Road Irish Restaurant and Pub, home of our official after parties Saturday and Sunday nights Irish Fest weekend is kicking off the weekend early with a special Irish Fest edition of their signature dinners with Chef Kevin Dundon. At 7:00pm that night try “A Taste of Ireland with Kevin” (Reservations required, contact Bethany at the pub). The dinner is $50 per person and will sell out, so don't snooze. Irish Dancer Bridgid Driscoll will perform at the pub that nigh as well, from 7:00-9:00pm along with live Irish music. Raglan Road is at the corner of 14th and Grand downtown.

Then on Thursday, Irish Fest Eve if you will, Kelly's Westport Inn at the corner of Westport Road and Pennsylvania Street will host the official KC Irish Fest kick off party. KCIF entertainers Evans and Doherty will perform, there'll be special prices on fine Boulevard beers and some Irish Fest giveways. You'll want to be there.

So see, Mr. Know-It-All? You didn't know the dates of Irish Fest after all. But now you do.
