See the Dogs
Irish Fest’s Celtic Canines area gives your family the chance to see and pet some of Ireland’s most popular dog breeds. We have eight different Irish dog breeds. This unique area, unmatched by any other festival, is located on the mid-south end of the grounds over by the lagoon.
Enjoy Family Entertainment
Irish Fest's interactive CedarCrest Children’s Stage features everything from Irish music and dance to puppetry.
Make Crafts
Just past the rainbow and behind the castle are fun activities that let your kids’ creativity shine, such as crafts, games, and more.
Watch the Parade
Don’t miss a chance to see dogs, drummers, bagpipers, fairies, pirates, Vikings, and more! This year parades will take place on Saturday and Sunday of the festival at 4pm.

Our Irish Fest mascots, Paddy and Molly, regularly appear in the dedicated children's area throughout the festival grounds over the course of the weekend.
