Louisville Irish Festival Events
The Louisville Irish Fest
I am returning to the Louisville Irish
Fest next week (Sept. 27, 28, 29). It is
held both indoors and outdoors, in a great
setting at Bellarmine University in Louisville,
Kentucky. On Friday night is the ceili that
begins at 7 p.m.. We will try to make that
this year as well !
The Irish Roots Cafe
The Irish Roots Cafe exhibit and consultation
booth will be inside, starting at 11:00 on
Saturday, the 28th of September. I will
be making an Irish Family History / genealogy
presentation for those that wish to attend
at 12:00 on Saturday.
We will remain at the fest, till Sunday at
6:00, when festivities are halted !
Final Launch of Irish Families
Louisville is also the final launch, nationally,
for the ‘Book of Irish Families, great & small
4th edition (2013). We will have the book on
hand for sale and review, along with our complete
34 book set, organized by Irish county. We began
the launch in Kansas City at Brownes Irish Market;
continued on at the Dublin, Ohio Irish Fest; and
the final launch and display takes place this last
weekend of September in Louisville !
