dublinirishfestival.org

The largest celebration of Irish-American culture in the United States is being postponed until next year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Dublin city officials say the annual Irish Festival will not be held for the first time since the late 1980s. The three-day event features live music from over 60 acts and more than 500 performers and vendors.  The city is also looking at proposals to open the recreation center, pool, and summer camps in June and July.

A series of music features Foley started in 2018 called Music Journeys has grown into a podcast and radio show. He also assists in developing other programs in WCBE's Podcast Experience. Foley hosts The Morning Mix, a weekday music show featuring emerging and established musicians, our Columbus-area and Ohio-based talent, and additional artists that inspire him.
