Description:

From Long Grove Irish Days Website:

There will be a Gaelic Tent in Fountain Square to promote awareness of the Irish language and genealogy, and ongoing entertainment by top Chicago area Irish musicians, singers and dancers. Featured performers include Rory Makem, The Shannon Rovers Bagpipe Band, The Dooley Brothers, The McNulty Irish Dancers, Gavin Coyle, The Chancey Brothers, Joe Cullen, and the Larkin Brothers Representatives from the Irish American Heritage center will also be on hand to discuss Irish cultural opportunities on the Northwest side of Chicago. Another favorite sight at Irish days will be the Irish Dog Competition. All dogs are Irish at Irish Days! Any dog can enter at the Dog Competition area by the Long Grove Information Center. Each day, a panel of Children judges will choose a King, Queen, Prince and Princess.

Harringtons Catering and Deli will sell corned beef sandwiches, fish and chips, and other traditional Irish foods. In addition there will be an area selling Guinness Stout and other brews to quench your thirst. A Wee Ones Area will host storytelling, crafts, face painting, and games for kids. Sure to provide lots of excitement, a contest will be held each day in Fountain Square to choose the Best Looking Mens Legs in a Kilt. Contestants should wear their best kilt and pre-register the morning of the event.
A town-wide leprechaun hunt will take place each day as the popular Wheres Paddy? competition returns. Long Grove shops will feature Irish days specials as the town rolls out the green this Labor Day weekend.
