Biggest Irish Festivals by Attendance
You know when it looks like I’m not posting, and you think I’m not working?
Well chances are I’m updating dozens of posts for the poor souls who come across them many months after they were first written.
One such post is the biggest Irish festivals in America, and I’m gonna guess that you can’t guess the top 10. Or even the top 5.
It’s funny as you scour around the web and read the number of claims of different festivals being the 2nd biggest. And refreshing to come across some festivals that give the impression of not getting drunk on the numbers.
Hey, they’re not my figures. If you have more accurate sources please point me to them.

I left you a reply to your comment on my page, but here’s part of it:
You may be interested in an old acquaintance of mine who lives and plays Scottish folk in Austin and is well-connected in the Celtic community there: http://www.songsofscotland.com/. He’s actually an old futbol friend of my ex-husband’s, but we spent many a time drinking and hanging out with him when we lived in Austin. Liked meeting you also - hope to see more of you before you move back to Ireland.
