The deal is on!
Seeing live music can be a transcendent, mind-body experience, akin to getting a tattoo underwater, or making out during an eclipse. Transcend boredom with today's Groupon: for $12, you get two adult tickets for one day of the Pittsburgh Irish Festival ($20 Value) in West Homestead. The festival runs September 10–12, and kids 12 and under get free admission with a ticket.
The Pittsburgh Irish Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with three days of Celtic culture at Riverplex at Sandcastle, showcasing a wide variety of entertainers on four stages near the waterfront. The schedule includes Friday and Saturday performances by Gaelic Storm, which made an appearance in Titanic, and whose music blends traditional Irish melodies and world music. The festival includes a cultural area filled with weavers, historians, lace-makers, storytellers who weave stories about lace, and classes on Gaelic language and Celtic symbol drawing. The Genealogy Pavilion provides the resources needed to start digging into Irish roots with an Irish shovel.
Groupon Says
Pubversations
Pubs are notorious in Ireland as a great place to pick up news and gossip from around the village thus earning them the nickname, "nature's barbershops." What might you overhear in an Irish pub?
- " Say chap, folks say the Mayor sold his family to buy a newer, taller family."
- "Oh, I need to pay for this drink. Does your pub accept impressions of Gabriel Byrne?"
- "I heard the town's gonna get a Taco Bell."
- "The barrister got put in the jam sandwich when the police found monges in the boot of his callypoozle."
- "You know who's great? The Beatles."
