Dublin Irish Festival Fast Approaching!

Overview

Each August, Dublin Ohio hosts its annual Dublin Irish Festival. This three day event is one of the largest irish festivals in the United States, and celebrates Irish music and culture across seven entertainment stages and 29 acres of land dedicated to games, sports, arts and crafts, cultural exhibits, children's activities (held in the 'wee folk area'), shops, and food and beverage stations. Sunday's service will celebrate Irish faith, which begins at 10am and is free with a donation of a non-perishable food item. A pub crawl and 5K race will kick off the event Thursday evening.
