'Irish Fest - The Galway Story' is an in-depth look at the 30-year relationship between Milwaukee Irish Festival and Galway.
This documentary explores the history, culture and personal stories that have shaped this wonderful partnership.
The documentary isn't just about facts and figures, it's also a deeply personal exploration of the human experience, featuring an interview with Patrick Connolly - a young man from South Galway who emigrated many years ago to the United States.
He attended the festival with his family when he was unable to travel home. He continues to attend every year.
