The Celtic Festival was Nov 2-3. It is still low key and a lot of fun although I liked it better at Fiesta Gardens. Ticketing was a little bit of a pain with the silly SI app.

Good bands, Irish dancing, the games, lots of good food. Beer was crazy crazy expensive, something like $20 a pint at the pour it yourself trailers. This was sad as I remember just taking a 20 and having 3 or four glasses out of that not counting tips. The whiskey tasting was fairly engaging.

Excellent bands, the venue is nice, and all in all my main conplaint is the beer price. Because that was insane.

    Sounds like some stalls missed an opportunity to make a killing undercutting their competition.

    I’ll have to look out for this next year. Sounds like a good time

      Yeah not sure whether it was an exclusive deal or what. It was just these mobile tap trailers and a card setup where you had a card that tracked your pours by the oz and you pulled your own. Concept was nice, cost was not.
