The AIG Fenway Hurling Classic and Irish Festival returns to Fenway Park with a doubleheader featuring four of the most prominent teams in the world.
In addition to Hurling, the festivities will include a lively Irish festival complete with Irish food, music, and dancing.
Here are the photos from the press event earlier this week.

We’ve got the Irish sport of Hurling coming to Fenway Park this weekend! I know nothing about the sport, but it should be really exciting to shoot.
As a lead up to the game, AIG, the leading sponsor, and the Red Sox hosted a kids clinic at Boston University. Here are a few quick grabs from the clinic.
