Just one month after Clare lifted the Liam McCarthy at Croke Park, The Banner once again was raised high last week when the County was placed on centre stage at the world's largest celebration of Irish music and culture.
A Clare County Council-led tourism delegation travelled to Wisconsin for the Milwaukee Irish Fest to target US holidaymakers who are planning overseas holidays for 2025.
‘Fly Shannon’ was the focus of the promotion with four scheduled services between Shannon Airport and JFK, Newark, Boston Logan and Chicago O’Hare airports.
Covering 74 acres of Lake Michigan's shoreline at Henry Maier Festival Park, Milwaukee Irish Fest showcases Irish music, history, dance, sports and culture. Clare has retained a presence at the festival for the past 25 years.
