About the Festival

Two days of music, parades, Irish dancing, bagpipes, kids’ activities, and fun!

In addition to great entertainment, there will be plenty of family fun, including children’s games, face painting and Irish-themed crafts. Over thirty Irish vendors will be in attendance! Food and refreshments will also be available. Enjoy wonderful “Irish Lasagna” prepared by the Ladies of St. Patrick’s, “Fish and Chips” and other favorites provided by Rare Olde Times Irish Pub, and many more.

We kindly ask that you leave all pets at home.

Charitable Giving

St. Patrick’s Church depends upon your generosity — not just during the festival, but year-round. These walls, built by generations past, now need you to nurture them. Give what you can; no amount is too small.
