The 14th Annual Adams County Irish Festival Saturday, July 20, 2013 10:00am - 7:30pm
With a full day of Irish music, dancers, food, merchandise, and more, the 14th annual Adams County Irish Festival offers wholesome family fun while benefiting charitable efforts for community groups in Ireland, as well as the Irish Heritage Foundation of Gettysburg’s long-term goal of establishing a national Irish history museum and library in Adams County. The festival is held rain or shine in the shady grove of the Gettysburg Moose Park, located conveniently off US Rt. 30, approximately 1.5 miles east of the US Rt. 15 Intersection.
Adams County’s only Irish Festival staged a memorable 13th festival last year, with a glorious day and a fantastic array of local, regional and internationally-known Irish bands, Irish step dancers, bagpipers, Irish music workshops, Irish food, a Civil War encampment, Irish wolfhounds, and art and gift vendors.
We are anticipating a wonderful festival this year and will be announcing details shortly.
South-central Pennsylvania is traditionally known for being an area of the State populated by German immigrants but what is less known (and celebrated) is its Irish heritage. Join us in historic Gettysburg for a day of music, dance, food, workshops, living history and crafts in celebrating the area's Irish heritage.
The Adams County Irish Festival is produced and presented by the Irish Heritage Foundation of Gettysburg, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
