Transcription

THURSDAY, AUGUST 14
Grand Hooley
NEW FOR 2014
This year we are featuring a Scotland Music Showcase celebrating the richness
and diversity of Scotland’s traditional music. We are also paying tribute to the
first modern ruler of Ireland, Brian Ború Dalcassian. The Brian Ború Millennium
Celebration brings together genealogists, historians, music experts, bow makers
and chefs to present exhibits, lectures and demonstrations about the “Emperor
of the Irish.” As part of the celebration, four counties from Ireland: Tipperary,
Clare, Dublin and Armagh will be commemorating the Battle of Clontarf, which
took place in 1014 – 1,000 years ago this year.
Children’s Area: Take part in an archeological Viking Dig in the Brian Ború
area, watch brother and sister harpists in the Children’s Pavillion or learn
about banjo making.
Food & Spirits: Visit our new Cooking Demonstration Pavillion, The Celtic
Kitchen featuring Irish chef Donnagh Gregson. The tent is located on the
north end of the grounds. When you’re done, stop by a Jameson location
to sample a “Mighty Quinn.”
Sports: After you check out hurling, currach racing and tug-of-war in the
Sports Area, visit the Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Wave on the north
end lake walk.
Entertainment: We’re always looking to enhance your entertainment
experience, so stop by the Miller Lite and Leinie’s stages to see our new,
super-sized video screens.

THE GATHERING, THE DAY
AND THE SCATTERING
Our Thursday evening Grand Hooley has become a special evening
for volunteers, sponsors and guests from around the globe.
This Irish tradition celebrates three stages of an event –
“The Gathering,”“The Day,” and “The Scattering.”
The Gathering (Friday)
celebrates the coming together of folks from all corners of the land.
The Day (Saturday)
is devoted to the celebration of anything from local saints and marriages
to sporting events and the evocation of folk rituals.
The Scattering (Sunday)
celebrates the parting of guests. On Sunday evening, entertainers from
the festival will come together for The Scattering, a special farewell to
this year’s festival, at 9:00 p.m. on the Aer Lingus Stage.

Every year, Milwaukee Irish Fest highlights a unique aspect of Celtic culture.
This year, we are featuring a Scotland Music Showcase that celebrates

of global phenomenon,

of Scotland’s most
