Think of the Dublin Irish Festival as being like Ireland, only smaller. Today, Coffman Park is filled with tents, vendors are bringing in their wares and the entertainers are on their way to celebrate at Dublin’s signature event. The 22nd annual Dublin Irish Festival kicks off at 4 p.m. Friday and runs through 9 p.m. Sunday for three full days of all things Irish. The 2009 Dublin Irish Festival features three days of immersion in Irish culture, including seven stages hosting 64 acts and 240 performances throughout the weekend. Thursday’s pre-festival activities in Historic Dublin will offer a lively start to the weekend, with the Dub Crawl at 5 p.m. and the 4 Miler run or walk at 7 p.m. The festival is one of the largest and most well-respected celebrations of Irish culture in the world, and weekend attendance is expected to top 100,000 people this year.
