Activities for the Whole Family at Irish Fest
Irish Fest is a family-friendly festival, and there are many activities and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy! Just past the rainbow and castle are fun activities, such as the Lili-Putt mini golf, Irish-themed crafts, the Family Pirate Paddy Passport scavenger hunt, and the Leprechaun Village. Kids can take part in interactive demonstrations at the John Byrne Stage, such as learning how to Irish dance, and enjoy music and entertainment specifically tailored to families at the Cedar Crest Children’s Stage.
Be sure not to miss the nine different Irish dog breeds in the Celtic Canines area! This unique area is unmatched by any other festival. Here, you will have the chance to see and pet some of Ireland’s most popular dog breeds, meet and talk with some of the Midwest’s top breeders, learn about grooming, general care and training, and check out demonstrations of agility, obedience, and more.
There’s also the Greenwish Village, where at each activity station, children and families will complete a craft or activity that highlights important environmental topics such as recycling, composting, and sustainable practices in the home. Come visit to learn how you can keep the communities we all share in the Milwaukee area clean and green!
Lastly, don’t miss out on Saturday and Sunday’s parades! Each parade is sure to catch your eyes, ears and imagination, so keep an eye out for some fairies, pirates, pipers, twirlers, and more.
And if you’re feeling a little hungry, Irish Fest has over 35 food locations throughout the grounds – from Irish cuisine to American fare, plus desserts like Guinness cheesecake, ice cream, pastries and much more!
