I'm thinking of attending the Irish Festival at Fair Park this weekend and checking their FAQ, I saw the following item:
Knives and guns
Knives and guns will NOT be permitted inside the festival grounds. This includes swords and long knives worn as part of the ethnic dress. A small Sgian Dhub is acceptable. (If you don't know what that is you shouldn't have one!) All dress weapons must be "peace tied". Knives and swords may be purchased at certain authorized booths under the strict conditions posted at the booth.
IIRC, Fair Park is government owned and cannot be posted 30.06, correct?

Yes, and a Sgian Dubh is illegal (as a dagger).

So is carrying around a Sword, but I think there are some circumstance where the Police look the Other way (Ren Fair anyone?), but then again IANAL or a LEO, or Irish

Well how else would you throw a Festival in Texas without something blowing up?
