Hello "Ballynewport"!   Bridie's is open at the beach!  You will discover another enchanting realm of Bridie’s Irish Faire, a quaint haven of Irish culture with handcrafted jewelry, gifts & apparel on the historic bay front in Newport, Oregon (next to Made in Oregon) in the Gear Shed Shops galleria.  See you there! Memorial Day Piping 2008 Bridie's Irish Faire is where you'll find a unique marriage of traditional Irish handmade jewelry, apparel and gifts - and modern arts and crafts--and where you'll be warmed by the welcome you receive! Bridie’s Irish Faire (342 SW Bay Boulevard, Newport OR 97365) now located on the bay front in Newport, Oregon, where I hope Bridie's will become the "epicenter of all things Irish in Newport".    The grand opening celebration date has been set for Saturday, June 7th.  Frank Blair will be playing music in the morning and Hanz Araki and Cary Novotny will play music and Maldon Meehan will dance in the afternoon!     Listen at hanzaraki.com   The party will continue the evening of June 7th, when Hanz and Cary play at Nana's Irish Pub.  Located on SW 3rd St.,  just a few blocks from the ocean, Nana's offers awesome food and has all the right things on tap--Guinness, Harp, Smitwicks and Strongbow--and please be sure to tell Philomena  & Tara that Bridie's sent you!
