Discover the Heart of Ireland in Puerto Rico!

​

Throughout the festival you'll enjoy:

☘️ Concerts featuring local and international artists

☘️ Traditional Irish Music Sessions

☘️ Lectures and cultural presentations

☘️ Community gatherings and special events

☘️ Opportunities to meet musicians from Puerto Rico, Ireland, the United States, and beyond

 

More than a music festival, is about building community. Every concert, workshop, and Session is designed to encourage participation, friendship, and the sharing of one of the world's great living musical traditions.

Whether you come to learn, perform, listen, or simply experience the warmth of Irish hospitality in Puerto Rico, you'll be part of a historic first edition that we hope will become a lasting tradition.
