Irishfest La Crosse returns with live music, food, beverages, Irish games and more August 7-9 at the Downtown Festgrounds! This will be the first festival since our community lost Pat Stephens, lead founder of Irishfest, all-around great guy, and endless do-gooder. Indulge in traditional Irish fare like Irish Stew, Irish Potatoes, Corned Beef, and Bangers, paired perfectly with Irish brews. Immerse yourself in Irish culture at the Cultural, Arts, & Genealogy Tents, featuring music, demonstrations, genealogy, Irish Karaoke, Irish dance, storytelling, and more. Making their first Irishfest La Crosse appearance this year is BIIRD, an all-female Irish traditional music supergroup that opened for Ed Sheran on his Loop Tour.
