The weekend will also feature Irish bands and music, food, workshops, book readings and a one-of-a-kind Celtic Market-place selling Irish Crafts and other collectibles
Irish Summer Fest will take place from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Irish musical performances include Roger Drawdy and The Firestarters, Raining Hearts, Barleyjuice, Sean McCabe, The John Byrne Band, Mary Kay Mann, Nae Breeks, Boxty and Pete McDonald.

On Friday, August 13 and Saturday, August 14 at 7:30 p.m., the Wildwoods Convention Center will host the internationally renowned full production show of the touring Celtic Crossroads Band from Galway, Ireland.
The performance is one of the most exhilarating and authentic shows to come from Ireland in decades. It is being called an explosion of youthful energy and dazzling musicianship, as well as being dually noted to music what Riverdance is to dance. Fusions of Irish music, bluegrass, gypsy and jazz pulsate with the underlying spark of Irish dance percussion.
From more than 800 applicants, Celtic Crossroads hand-selected Ireland’s finest traditional talent, all award-winning multi-instrumentalists trained in multiple genres of music.
