Back in 1992, the idea of an Irish festival on the east side of Cleveland came about. Two years later in 1994 the Irish Summerfest was launched at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Painesville Ohio. After two years the festival moved to a new home in Euclid. For ten wonderful years the Irish Summerfest brought together thousands of families for a weekend of the best Celtic entertainment with the whole family in mind. In 2007 the festival moved to the Captains Park in Eastlake. Sadly, the Irish Summerfest could not continue.

The Irish Summerfest was sponsored by Our Heritage Our Home Inc. and the main fundraiser for our scholarship foundation.

Now my friends fast forward to Labor Day Weekend 2012 and the Lake County Fairgrounds in Painesville. The Festival will return!

We're going to give the festival a makeover starting with a new name: Ohio's Celtic and International Fall Fest. Yes, we'll feature some of the very best in Celtic music, and a new International pavilion where you'll see approximately 20 different nations represented in their native costume and dance.

Our children's stage will feature lots of activities and shows for the children. Of course there's food and beverages in abundance for all ages, and some new events that we're working on.

Once again we'll bring you some exciting new musical groups some making their first visit to the greater Cleveland area.

While we love the Irish and Celtic music, dances, bands and food that are the core of Ohio's Celtic and International Fall Fest, our region is made up of over 100 different ethnic groups. The ClevelandPeople.Com International Pavilion will feature music, performances, food and shopping from many different cultural groups.
