Irish Festival - Slainte and Stay
Celebrate Irish Culture with Us!
Experience an unforgettable celebration of Irish culture with MC Michael Cornelius Clarke leading the way. Kick off your weekend on Friday night and continue into Saturday and Sunday with an authentic display of local Irish bands, traditional bagpipers, and mesmerizing Irish step dancers. As you immerse yourself in the lively sounds and spirited atmosphere, raise a toast with the Irish word "Sláinte"—meaning "health" or "good health"—a heartfelt greeting common in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. Savor classic Irish dishes like shepherd’s pie, soda bread, and hearty stews, perfectly complemented by iconic drinks such as Guinness, Harp, Killian’s, and Jameson.

- Live Irish music & performances
