Free Admission!
Entertainment
The Irish Fair of Minnesota offers entertainment of all varieties. For Irish music lovers, we present many styles of music on three stages. Internationally acclaimed headliners and a variety of the best local and regional musicians perform throughout the weekend. Terrific dancers perform delicate steps and Riverdance-like routines in the Ryan Dance Tent. Children can participate in craft activities and races or listen to storytellers and singers in the Irish Indeed! Children's Area. Learn a little more about Irish heritage in the Cultural Area. For those with a competitive nature, we offer three contests. Athletic? Check out our sports area. Dog lover? Stroll over to the Native Dogs of Ireland.
When you need a break from all those free activities, you can visit the artisans, vendors and exhibitors in the Marketplace or try some traditional Irish food.
Special attractions this year include a Friday night Irish dinner cruise aboard the Jonathan Padleford, as well as a weekend-long Samuel Beckett exhibit in the cultural area.
