Our 17th Irishfest La Crosse will be held August 12-14 on the fest grounds in downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin. Irishfest La Crosse is a non-profit, family friendly festival run by a completely volunteer board along with our volunteers.
The annual festival will feature a stellar lineup of Irish music from traditional to harp to rock and everything in between. In addition to music, we will have Irish dancers, cultural displays, workshops, storytelling, Genealogy Tent, Highland games, Tug of War, Kilt Run, sheepherding demonstrations, an Irish Market and more. Our Harp Stage this year will feature the Harp Twins and their eclectic style of music. Our Wee Folks area is sure to entertain the kids with games, activities, contests, sheep shearing, music, puppets, and Irish dogs. There is the arcade and Aran Islands Golf for the older kids. A variety of food and drinks will be available.
All musical performances will be under tents. Entertainment will include We Banjo 3, Byrne Brothers, Boxing Banjo, Gaelic Storm, Scythian, Socks in the Frying Pan, The Harp Twins, The Spain Brothers, Maírtín de Cogáin, Shane Hennessy, Ian Gould, Tulua and many others.
