Our always-popular Irish Fest returns with plenty of festive fun on Friday, Aug. 1 from 6 to 9 p.m. on the Gatehouse Lawn. This outdoor concert will feature Springfield-area band Skibbereen, as well as Character Fleadh, which performs Irish and Scottish traditions, Chicago-style. This event is part of the Allerton Park Concert Series presented by Cim-Tek Filtration, with monthly concerts through Sept. 5.
