Irishfest La Crosse | Southside Fest Grounds

Irishfest La Crosse is celebrating their 20th year! The fest will be held August 8-10 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 and 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, there will be Irish dancers, cultural displays, workshops, storytelling, Genealogy Tent, Highland games, 2 days of Tug of War, Kilt Run, an Irish Market and more. Our Harp Stage this year will again 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 Skerryvore, Eileen Ivers, Gadan with Enda Scahill, Gaelic Storm, the High Kings, Boxing Banjo, Michael Darcy and the Atlantic Tramps, The Harp Twins, Ian Gould & Lukas Jaeger, Seamus Kennedy and others.
