through June 29th. Leprechaun Days has existed in some form since the
1950s and has developed into a wonderful community event with many

the many original settlers of Rosemount that came from Ireland.
Highlights of the 10 day festival include the Bluegrass Americana Festival in Central Park which
includes a farmer's market, Rib Feast, bands, and children's
entertainment, the Grand Day Parade and fireworks. The Leprechaun's
