Annual week-long event in East Durham, and surrounding towns of Acra, Cairo, Leeds, and Greenville. Musicians from all over the world descend on Greene County. On opening night of the East Durham Irish Arts Festival, "Irish Show" host Tony Fallon is live in Acra at Wave Farm, and he'll have guests, musicians from around these parts, and visiting from Ireland, sitting in on the show. The Irish Arts Festival is part musicial workshops to keep the Irish music tradition alive; and late-night jam sessions to keep it strong.
