Food options include Shepherd’s pies (veg available); grilled cheeses and hot dogs, and Carlos Mora Taco Truck later in the afternoon. Get your sweets and treats from Ireland and fresh soda bread from the UICC Irish Shoppe (noon- 5pm).

For the kids there will be a bounce house as well as face painting available.
