Join us for a celebration of Irish music, dance, and culture!

The Southern Illinois Irish Festival is a free community event celebrating the beauty and heritage of Irish music and Celtic culture. The goal of the festival is to unite the community, through food, music and dance, with an appreciation for shared heritage and the importance of history.

We believe all history, heritiage, and culture should be celebrated and hope to use this festival to bring together members of our community from different backgrounds in a spirit of learning and entertainment.
