Sláinte!
The 21st Annual Irish Fall Festival kicks off today and runs through Sunday. The four-day celebration of Irish culture, heritage, music, food, and fun is the largest of its kind on the East Coast.
Here, courtesy of our friends at North Wildwood Recreation & Tourism, is a rundown of the weekend's scheduled events, as well as a list of performers set to take the stage at the Irish Music Tent.
We will have a more in-depth weekend preview tomorrow, including info on two other big events - The Boardwalk Classic Car Show & Auction and the Wildwood Crest Seafarers Celebration...
