CELEBRATING 26 YEARS!
FOR OVER A QUARTER CENTURY CLEVELAND'S IRISH CULTURAL FESTIVAL HAS BEEN CELEBRATING IRISH CULTURE AND HERITAGE.
Cleveland’s Irish Cultural Festival seeks to preserve, memorialize and document Irish History and Traditions -- from the gentle stirrings of the harp, to the boom and pomp of the pipe bands; from the soft hush of our love songs, to the thunder of Celtic dancers and rock bands. Spurred by the vision of founder John O'Brien Sr., over 300 volunteers mobilize annually to breath life into the festival. We are blessed that the culture we celebrate boasts such a wealth of tradition, music, literature, and art -- all bound together by that rich sense of community which typifies the Irish. Though difficult to adequately encapsulate, following is a brief overview of the festival and its many attractions.
Cleveland’s Irish Cultural Festival is a non-profit, annual civic event, benefiting local and national charities while highlighting the many aspects of our Irish culture. Attractions include: 24 performers on nine stages, a multitude of exhibits, and myriad kiosks representing some of the finest vendors in the United States.
If you're looking for a weekend packed with great Irish bands, step dancers, plays, food, children's activities and Irish historical exhibits, come to Cleveland's Irish Cultural Festival at the Berea Fairgrounds July 18th, 19th, and 20th, 2008!
