Pittsburgh Irish Festival

To contribute to the rich cultural awareness of Irish history and tradition that exists in Pittsburgh.

In addition to providing a year round presence in Western Pennsylvania for the expression of Irish arts and culture in events such as the Pittsburgh Folk Festival and St. Patrick's Day activities, the Pittsburgh Irish Festival features a three-day cultural event, showcasing the best of Irish heritage and culture. Presentations include international, regional and local music and world-championship step dancing on four stages, fine Irish cuisine, an authentic Irish marketplace, educational children's activities, Celtic canines, Irish sports and genealogy and so much more. Our musical presentations have risen beyond concert entertainment to imprint a deeper cultural awareness to our audiences of the beauty that Irish music has to offer. 2015 is the Pittsburgh Irish Festival's 25th Anniversary.
