Michigan Irish Music Festival is this Weekend

One day down and two more to go at the Michigan Irish Music Festival in Muskegon.

Beginning yesterday at Heritage Landing in Muskegon and running through Sunday, it's all things Irish!

There are over 20 entertainers performing spread out between the County Kerry stage, Bob & Bernie’s Pub, and the G&L County Cork Stage. This year’s acts range from some of the best national and international acts like favorites Slide and Scythian to great local talent such as the Oat Bran Boys.

Have you heard this year’s Festival will be featuring Perrin on tap?

Near the County Kerry stage is where these can be found. Perrin’s Gold and The Black will be featured throughout the festival. Saturday and Sunday will feature special tastings with Perrin’s Head Brewmaster at 1:00 p.m. IPA and Razz will be included in the tastings, along with the debut of the Malted Milk Ball Baltic Porter, a barrel-aged ale with chocolate and vanilla overtones which clocks in at a hefty 10.5% ABV.

Fatty Lumpkins will be among the food vendors featured at the County Kerry stage, with Reuben Soup and Patty McFatty and How Now Brown Cow sandwiches among the options. Upgrade your Perrin tasting to include the Manger’s Irish Cider tasting at 3 p.m. additionally at the tasting tent and receive $5 off any festival t-shirt.
