What’s an Irish Hooley you ask? Well, it’s an Irish social celebration that combines music ranging from traditional to rock with fun entertainment for the entire family! And guess what…there’s no cover charge!

These rockin’ happenings will take place from August 30 through September 2. The events kick off mid-day and last into the wee hours of the night.

Get ready for colorful folk, blues, traditional Irish, Celt grass, and soul music along with Irish dancing and Celtic face-painting. You may even have the opportunity to learn a few traditional Irish steps yourself — no experience necessary!!
