Failte (Welcome)
It’s all about the music. Yes, and the dance. And the culture. But first and foremost, our event is a music festival.
​
Top groups from around the world join outstanding regional acts and up-and-coming groups to thrill our guests. And local favorites deliver knockout performances to their rabid followers, gaining new fans every time.
​
Mix in an idyllic riverside venue, loads of entertainment options for the whole family, and enough food and drink to satisfy an army, and it’s no wonder the Peoria Irish Fest has been going strong for 40+ years!
