Labor Day is coming up in just over a week, and you know what that means. It’s time to break out the leprechaun suit and take up step dancing. OK, not really, but the annual Ocean County Irish Festival is right around the corner.

Scheduled again for Manahawkin Lake Park, the festival is set for Saturday, Sept. 9. Hosted by the Ocean County chapter of The Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh, the festival featuring everything Irish is slated from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and admission is free.
