The North Texas Irish Festival

The North Texas Irish Festival is owned and produced exclusively by the Southwest Celtic Music Association, a Texas 501(c)3 corporation, headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It is the second oldest Irish festival in the United States and largest in the southwest.

The festival has a proud tradition of being an exclusively volunteer organization that brings over 35,000 guests to Dallas each year. As the second largest cultural event held in Fair Park, it occupies the largest buildings and largest open area on the site.

Fair Park has been home to the festival for 24 of it's 25 years, having moved from it's first location on Oak Lawn in 1984.
