Peoria Irish Fest takes over the Riverfront at the end of August

On this week's episode of Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland Wright of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois talks about Peoria Irish Fest with the festival’s entertainment chair Tom McConnaughay. The festival takes place August 23-25 at the Peoria Riverfront and features a variety of family-friendly activities — including music, games, dancing, and more. Wearing a kilt or Renaissance faire attire gets you free entry on Sunday!
