We're half way to St. Patrick's Day, and that means folks are celebrating every Irish.
The annual Irish Festival kicked off Friday night at Rainbow Gardens.
It's a fundraiser for St. Patrick's Church.
Over the weekend, folks will enjoy the Irish heritage: the food, dancing, and of course, that Irish music.

"I'm Irish on both sides, and the girls, but they don't know too much about it so we like to come out and see all the Irish stuff, and I like to teach them about it. They like the dancing especially." Said Beth Sayers of Erie.

"The music. I love the Irish music. I always did, its really good." "Its just up pace, up beat music." Said John Groters of Erie.

The festival continues throughout the weekend, click here for a list of musical acts and events.
