North Texas Irish Festival

7324 Gaston Avenue

When this wonderful festival was first conceived of, it was an event created by musicians who loved Irish traditional music, for musicians and an audience who also loved Irish traditional music. We are still one of the only large Irish festivals in the country who place a huge significance on the traditional music of Ireland. We definitely go on tangents now and then, out to Scotland and the Maritimes and we embrace the rock and roll of it all sometimes, but traditional music has always had most of our focus.
