Join us at the main stage for the opening ceremony of the Irish Fair of Minnesota, a celebration of Irish culture, music, and community.
Hear the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band of St. Paul. Meet our dedicated Board of Directors and witness the presentation of the Curtin-Conway Award to Norah Rendell, Executive Artistic Director at the Center for Irish Music in St. Paul, for her significant contributions to the Irish community.
We will honor the traditional and ancestral land of the Dakota people with a land acknowledgement, showing respect and recognition for the indigenous communities who have lived here for generations.
Join us in this collective toast to the success of the fair. Let's celebrate together!
The Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band of St. Paul, Minnesota, established in 1962, preserves and advances Celtic piping, drumming, and dancing. They’ve performed alongside national acts like the Chieftains, Green Day, and Rod Stewart, as well as local groups. Their distinctive black and saffron uniforms make them a crowd favorite at community celebrations, parades, and events.
