The annual North Texas Irish Festival is happening this weekend at historic Fair Park. With some of the world's top Celtic musicians and dancers, the presentation will take place on 13 different stages around the Park.
Culinary presentations from acclaimed chefs are showing home cooks how to modernize Irish classics and there will be the favorite whiskey tastings taking place as well.
