The 32nd Annual North Texas Irish Festival, presented by the Southwest Celtic Music Association, will have the theme, Erin Go Bark!, celebrating the role of the “Celtic canines” in this beloved dog- and family-friendly festival. Dogs are welcome to join visitors to enjoy the music, culture, fun and food – just not the Guinness.

The festival has added a pet pavilion in the Grand Building, dedicated to dogs and other friendly pets, housing the largest gathering of animal rescue groups in North Texas and more.

Of course, the festival also features top Irish musicians and dancers from around the world and a number of cultural presentations on 13 different stages at Fair Park. There will also be cooking presentations, whiskey tastings, blacksmithing demonstrations, archery in a Celtic village, Gaelic football, horse displays, children's entertainment, a petting zoo, safety demonstrations, art activities and storytellers.
