MILWAUKEE (March 14, 2022) – St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and the weather is slowly starting to warm up, so it’s natural to start getting excited about all things Irish. That includes Milwaukee Irish Fest, which returns to the Henry Maier Festival Park from August 18-21 for its 41st celebration of music and culture. To add to the anticipation, Milwaukee Irish Fest is providing a sneak peek of the festival, including some of the confirmed entertainment acts along with a new ticket promotion.

The 2022 festival also signals the return of the “Grand Hooley” Thursday night preview, with parts of the festival grounds open to help kick off the weekend.
