Each year we boast a truly great ‘Kids Area’, world class food, beverages and crafts vendors. The Hudson Valley Irish Fest is indeed “A Celebration of Irish American Culture for the whole family.”

The “Jack McAndrew Memorial Cultural Tent” features a stellar assembly of the best Traditional Irish Musicians, Singers and Dancers from the Lower Hudson Valley & beyond. The 2014 Cultural Tent features recording artist Mary Courtney, fine artistic displays from Limerick artist Patrick Hartnett. The Fest also takes time to salute to our Fire, Police & Rescue Workers & US Armed Forces with The Pipes & Drums of the Police Emerald Society of Westchester County leading Massed Pipe Bands and Tim Murphy, the Bard of the Hudson performing his song, “The Firefighters Creed.”

The Hudson Valley Irish Fest Inc. is a not for profit charitable and educational trust. From its inception, the Hudson Valley Irish Fest has been made possible by the hard work of our entirely voluntary committee, many of whom are members of our main sponsors, Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division 18 Peekskill & Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division 18 Peekskill. We are also grateful for the support of the Consulate General of Ireland NY and their continued support of our efforts.

All proceeds of the Hudson Valley Irish Fest support charitable and educational work of our organization and the recently established Hudson Valley Irish Center in the Red School House at 210 6th St. Verplanck, NY. From our home at The Hudson Valley Irish Center and through your donations, we will continue to promote the rich Irish American culture and heritage that abounds in the Lower Hudson Valley through a program of arts, entertainment, literature and history for all ages throughout the coming year.
