Each year, Irish Arts Minnesota hosts the annual St. Patrick’s Day Irish Celebration in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. For over 40 years, we’ve invited the community to see local musicians, dance performance groups, art exhibitions, and storytellers. In 2017 alone, over 7,000 people from the Twin Cities joined us at the Landmark Center to celebrate Irish-American culture. Proceeds from our events help sustain our programs, like educational grants, that support Irish artists all year round. The St. Patrick’s Day Celebration is produced by Irish Arts Minnesota and is presented in partnership with the Minnesota Landmarks.
We celebrate with all things Irish, with activities for the whole family!
- Local and regional music on four different stages
- Traditional Irish dancing from local dance schools and adult performance groups
- Irish Marketplace with authentic Irish merchants, artisans, and informational resources
- Traditional food, American-style sandwiches, with Irish and local beer
- Seminars on Irish topics, including music, language, and theater
- Children’s stage and crafts activities offered free of charge
