Irish Craic Fest holds rooftop fundraiser in New York

Craic benefit to be held next month

Gay and lesbian Irish film and music fans (and their friends) are also part of the Craic Fest’s equal opportunity yearly programming, and last year’s debut outreach to the community was so successful that it’s being offered again this year.

“We do two events with the Irish Arts Center now, one of which includes the Craic’s gay and lesbian festival which will be coming up again on June 22. That’s one way we’re branching out and forming new alliances. The major part of this job is planning ahead, and since we’re community focused, we want to reach as wide an audience as we can,” Mulligan says.

It’s also a testament to the small but completely dedicated team that Mulligan has assembled.  Year after year they manage to lock up the best Irish films and bands and bring them – often for the first time – to New York’s appreciative audience.
