By - Mar 2nd, 2023 10:18 am

MILWAUKEE (March 2, 2023) – Everyone’s Irish during the month of March, and there’s no better place to celebrate with the family than at CelticMKE’s Irish Family Day, on Sunday, March 12. From 11a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the CelticMKE Center in Wauwatosa, the headquarters for Milwaukee Irish Fest, will transform into an immersive Irish experience with lively entertainment and interactive activities for the whole family to enjoy.

With an Irish passport, families will explore nine different counties of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Each county will feature an interactive activity which celebrates Irish culture, history, and traditions. Children will get their passports stamped along the way, earning a prize at the end of their journey.

The Celtic Cafe will be serving lunch and snacks, five Irish dance schools will perform throughout the afternoon, Belfast native Ian Gould will perform an interactive music show, and roaming storytellers will fill the halls. Families can also watch students of all ages from the Milwaukee Irish Fest School of Music performing traditional Irish tunes. Full program details are available at celticmke.com.

Admission is $15 per family, at the door, and includes all activities. Attendees can take advantage of a special Milwaukee Irish Fest ticket promotion. Buy one general admission ticket for the 2023 festival and get one free.

CelticMKE’s Irish Family Day sponsors and partners are Breadsmith, Tosa Pool at Hoyt Park, Ruckus and Glee, Tralee Irish Imports, and Wisconsin Athletic Club.
