Irish Fair Kickoff Party

Irish Fair of Minnesota invites you to our Kickoff Party, which will feature FINNEGANS beer sampling and a Celtic music showcase! When you attend the Kickoff Party, you will experience firsthand the excitement of the start of our Fair! Also, get exclusive access to our fairgrounds on Harriet Island before it opens to the public! The Kickoff Party is Thursday, August 9th from 7:00pm-10:00pm at the Pub Tent.

There will be a selection of FINNEGANS beer available and people will be able to sample some of their new brews! This is the perfect opportunity to taste all the new beers that you have been dying to try! But, dont worry once you find your favorites you can fill up a larger cup (as many times as you desire)!

Our showcase will feature some of the best local Celtic bands, and you get to hear them all play during the span of just one night! We will have SisterTree, Tom Dahill & Ginny Johnson, The HiBs, The Eddies, Leslie Rich, The Tim Malloys, The Northerly Gales, and Release The Craicen all play a short set! We will also have some Irish dancing!

Tickets cost $30 in advance ($40 at the door). There are also designated driver/under 21 tickets available, which are only $15! All FINNEGANS beer sampling and larger beer servings are free with purchase of your ticket!
