Big crowds expected for Irish Fall Festival

Hereford Inlet in North WildwoodImage via Wikipedia"The number of green T-shirts being sold around town has jumped, red plastic beer cups have been flying off the shelves of local supermarkets, and a number of homes have begun proudly displaying flags in colors of orange, white and green.
All are signs that North Wildwood has been readying for its 19th annual Irish Fall Festival and the thousands of people it brings to enjoy a weekend-long party that celebrates Irish heritage.
“It’s like North Wildwood’s own Mardi Gras,” said Krista Nooney as she stocked up on red plastic cups at a grocery store.
Nooney said her entire family extends their vacation to include the last weekend in September “religiously” so not to miss the festival.
“I don’t think we’ve missed one since the city started hosting it,” she said."
