Heralded as the nation’s largest free celebration of Irish culture, the Irish Fair of Minnesota is a free, three-day festival being held Friday, August 10th through Sunday, August 12th at beautiful Harriet Island in St. Paul. This unique, annual celebration allows attendees the opportunity to celebrate Irish culture from authentic dishes to traditional Irish activities.

Check out the Master Schedule to see all of the fun festivities planned for this year’s Irish Fair of Minnesota.

In addition to three full days dedicated to all things Irish, there will also be a Kickoff Party which features a performance by the Belfast Cowboys, a Van Morrison Tribute Band. The Belfast Cowboys will be playing Van Morrison’s classic album “Moondance” in its entirety as well as previewing a few original songs off their new CD.
