Indy’s long-running celebration of Irish culture will be full-force at our sheared-down festival this September. Come join the shenanigans for live music, food, drinks, and all the Irish culture.
ndy Irish Fest is back after our 2020 pause. Some updates:
New location! We have moved to Garfield Park on the near south side of Indy. It is a beautiful city park that will let us present an excellent event for our followers. We hope to grow back to our pre-COVID number of days and stages.

Reduced footprint. Due to the unknown and constantly shifting factors that play into presenting an event of this magnitude, we had to shear (Baa!) back space and offerings to ensure expenses would not exceed revenue.

No food and beverage tickets. We will take cash or credit card throughout the event so no waiting in line for tickets to buy those.

No Sunday and therefore no Mass. We hope to return to a three-day event next year.

Children’s area on pause. Because children under 12 cannot be vaccinated at this point, we will not create a confined space that would encourage close contact. We will have programming of interest available with space to spread out.

Smoking rules have changed. The City of Indianapolis implemented a new policy for all city parks as of July 1, 2021. There will be no smoking or vaping allowed in the park or at the event.

Pet access on pause. Because of reduced space we cannot accommodate pets being brought to the event. PLEASE do not leave a pet in a car and risk overheating or worse. Leave the pups at home where they can stay safe.
