Summary

The post-festival account of the 2024 Emerald Isle Irish Féile reports that the Beaver Island Irish Currach Club held Saturday currach races with the Milwaukee Currach Club. The races were one component of a broader weekend that included music, dance, talks, heritage activities, and community gatherings.

Evidence limits

The report confirms the races took place and identifies the two clubs. It does not give a racecourse, results, individual crews, or a precise date within the festival weekend.

Open questions

  • Where on the water was the racecourse, and what were the results and crews?
  • On which exact Saturday date within the September 2024 festival weekend were the races held?
