Irish eyes smiled at Broad Channel festival

The Broad Channel Volunteer Fire Department hosted the second annual Broad Channel Irish Festival, featuring traditional Irish food and live music, at Broad Channel Memorial Field on Saturday, August 8. Vendors offered traditional Irish food and goods, and activities were held for children, including face painting and rides.
A bagpipe group and Irish step-dancers performed, and two bands, Jameson’s Revenge, a traditional Irish folk group, and Finn’s Fury, an Irish rock band, entertained the crowds.
This year money raised by the festival will be given to the Broad Channel Volunteer Fire Department to purchase a new ambulance.
