Festivals and Events: Canada's Irish Festival on the Miramichi

 This year Canada's Irish Festival on the Miramichi was held from July 16 to July 19. This is the second year that events were held at Waterford Green during the afternoons, as opposed to inside the Lord Beaverbrook Arena like previous years.
**Note: pictures are from last year's festival.**

Vendors set up along Waterford Green.

In addition to all the outdoor activities, there were pub nights at the LBA on Friday and Saturday night with drinks and live music and various breakfasts, lunches and suppers taking place around the community. Some of these included the signature Irish dish, corned beef and cabbage. Canada's Irish Festival on the Miramichi wrapped up with a family day at Middle Island Historical Irish Park. 

The festival is the same weekend every year and definitely a blast for anyone with Irish roots looking to celebrate with the largest Irish population in New Brunswick. Come out next year and every year after to enjoy a fun weekend of drinks, music and cultural celebrations!
