The Great Irish Fair of New York is being held Saturday afternoon at Coney Island's Ford Amphitheater.
The festival begins with the Irish national anthem followed by the U.S. national anthem.
One attendee says she came from upstate New York with her mother and boyfriend for the festival, and is selling homemade specialties like traditional Irish soda bread and jewelry handcrafted in Ireland.
Organizers tell News 12 Brooklyn the festival has been a tradition for nearly 40 years.
