About the Irish Fair of Minnesota
The Irish Fair of Minnesota, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a Board of Directors representing a broad spectrum of the metro Irish community.
The organization produces the festival each year on the second weekend of August, supports other Irish organizations through our grant program and opportunities at the festival, supports new (non-Irish) immigrant projects through our grant program and hosts other Irish cultural activities throughout the year.
Through contributions to our Legacy Fund, the Irish Fair provides an opportunity for individuals to express passion for their heritage, support the Irish cultural renaissance and strengthen the vitality of new immigrant communities in Minnesota.
The Irish Fair is a volunteer-driven organization with more than 30 filled volunteer staff positions, another couple dozen folks who assist on committees and over 250 volunteers the weekend of the festival.
