Harriet Island in St. Paul said a hundred thousand welcomes to the thousands of people who flocked to the Irish Fair of Minnesota.

The three-day celebration of the Emerald Isle features traditional and contemporary bands as well as everything from Irish dancing to Irish treats and tea. There also was a display showcasing the many breeds of Irish dogs.

The Irish Fair of Minnesota is a nonprofit organization that supports the Irish community in the state.
