Great Irish Fair Celebrates Culture in Coney Island
A large group of attendees gathered at the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk, 3052 West 21st Street, for the 37th Annual Great Irish Fair.
Held on Saturday, Sept. 22, the event, hosted by the Irish American Building Society (IABS), is a family-friendly day which celebrates New York City’s great Irish-American heritage and culture.
“This year’s fair was a great success thanks to all those who participated,” said IABS President Martin Cottingham. “We had awesome vendors from all over the area, an amazing lineup of talented musicians on both our traditional stage and our main stage, and a great team of volunteers who helped it all go without a hitch. This year’s turnout was one of the best we’ve seen in recent years, once again thanks to all of those who contributed to the experience.”
