For over 36 years, Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival has celebrated Irish heritage with great Irish bands, step dancers, children's activities, plays, food & exhibits. Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival has donated more than $770,000.00 to local and national charities since its 1983 inception, due to your continued generous support.
The Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival is a family-run festival run by a bunch of Irish immigrant volunteers who chose to settle in Cleveland and bring the Irish culture here.

ADMISSION: Tickets are $12 per person, and are available for purchase online, as well as from ticket booths at both the Bagley and Eastland Road gates. Parking is FREE and children under 10 gain FREE admittance.
FOOD: Expect new ideas of old Irish or Irish-American classics AND we all those typical fairground bites that you can't go a summer without eating. Something for everyone!
MUSIC: We never have the same line-up of bands and we are constantly on the look-out for up-and-coming bands from Ireland, Canada and around the US! We especially love featuring young musicians who are keeping the traditional music alive as well as local Irish bands who keep the culture alive in Cleveland. But we have the best-of-the-best in Irish music. Headliners include: Gaelic Storm, Eileen Ivers, The Byrne Brothers and The Fitzgeralds whose video from last year's fest went viral with nearly 4 millions views! Of course there will be Pipe Bands, Irish dancing and more entertainment.
MUCH MORE: There will be an amazing kids' area, dogs native to Ireland, a cornhole tournament, workshops with some of our amazing entertainers, and TONS of shopping from Irish vendors around the country. This year we're kicking off the fest with a 5k!
