If you've been to Irish Fest before, you will know they do a great job of setting up the Children's area. Here are some of the opportunities for learning and play at Irish Fest 2009. Visit the Irish Fest website here for all the details: http://www.irishfest.com/festival/

1. Discovery World will be in the Children’s Activity Area with their traveling Touch Tank. Children can learn about the sea animals and fish that can be found in the ocean and seas surrounding Ireland. They will be able to ask questions and even touch the creatures in the tank.

2. There will be hands on crafts that will compliment our Discovery World addition.

3. Around the world with a Family Passport. Families can collect stamps for their passports, make crafts and get prizes at stops throughout the grounds.

4. Puppeteer Wayne Francis and Great Big Faces Paul Merklein will be appearing on the stage. Also featured on our stage will be Tommy Sands, Mairtine De Cogan and Milwaukee Irish Fest’s own School of Music.

5. Irish Dancers. One of the highlights of the weekend. With multiple groups performing and lots of performances, you are sure to be dazzled.
