Irishfest La Crosse is a non-profit, family friendly festival run by a completely volunteer board along with our volunteers. The annual festival will feature a stellar lineup of Irish music from traditional to harp to rock and everything in between. Music for 2026 includes: the High Kings, Gaelic Storm, Screaming Orphans, Scythian, Mairtin de Cogain, Rory Makem, Bog Bodies, Murphy & Mancuso, Billow Wood, Gould and Jaeger and more. In addition to music, there will be Irish dancers, cultural displays, workshops, storytelling, Genealogy Tent, Highland games, 2 days of Tug of War, Kilt Run, an Irish Market and more. Our Wee Folks area is sure to entertain the kids with games, activities, contests, sheep shearing, music, puppets, and Irish dogs. There is the arcade and Aran Islands Golf for the older kids. A variety of food and drinks will be available. All musical performances will be under tents.
