-Indy Irish Fest is one of downtown Indy’s biggest and best music festivals.  A ticket to Irish Fest gives you the chance to see between 7-14 bands in one day, playing both traditional & contemporary Irish or Irish-inspired music.  17 live acts will create more than 34 hours of live music and Irish dancing to enjoy over the course of the weekend.

-Come for the music and stay for the culture!  Enjoy Irish markets with more than 20 vendors, the Wee Folks Area with games, crafts and huge inflatables for the kids, a Celtic Mass and the Kilted Mile race on Sunday.  There’s a traditional music session tent, Celtic Canines roaming the park, a Cultural Area with lessons about Irish history and the Cultural Stage complete with demonstrations in Irish language and musical instruments.  Pipe and Drum bands roam the park throughout the weekend.

-New this year to the festival; the Celtic Culinary Corner, where Chef Eric W. McBride will provide cooking demonstrations and the flavors of the 8 Celtic Nations, and Master Thatcher William Cahill, a guardian of an ancient skill, will provide demonstrations of traditional roof thatching techniques.  Don’t forget that after gates are closed on Friday and Saturday nights, there will be an Irish session party at Loughmiller’s Pub & Eatery, where food and drink is plenty and festival musicians play into the wee hours!
