Irish in Texas

22 listings for Texas so far, each checked against the official source. More states and listings are added in waves.

Austin Celtic Festival and Highland Games

Austin, Texas · Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms, 10621 Pioneer Farms Drive, Austin · 7–8 Nov 2026

The 30th festival, this November: two days of Celtic music, Highland games and Irish dance on a living-history farm in north Austin, run by volunteers as a nonprofit. Tickets are online only; there are no gate sales.

The festival is produced by the Austin Celtic Association and the Celtic Cultural Center of Texas. Beyond the stages there is a school of traditional arts running workshops from beginner to master level, a Celtic dog parade for registered Celtic breeds, and heavy games running all day both days.

Practical points from the organisers: buy tickets in advance online (adults $25 a day, $40 for the weekend when checked), bring a chair or blanket because seating is limited, and leave the dog at home unless it is a registered parade dog. Rain or shine.

North Texas Irish Festival

Denton, Texas · North Texas Fairgrounds, 2217 North Carroll Boulevard, Denton · 13–14 Mar 2027

One of the largest Irish festivals in the United States moves house: after more than forty years at Dallas's Fair Park, the 2027 festival opens at the North Texas Fairgrounds in Denton, run as ever by volunteers.

The Southwest Celtic Music Association has produced the festival since 1983 with an all-volunteer crew, and its musical brief is the strictest of the big American festivals: traditional music first. The move to Denton puts ticketing, food and security back under the festival's own control, which the organisers say plainly was the reason for leaving Fair Park.

Denton is a music town in its own right, about 40 minutes north of Dallas. Expect the format to carry over unchanged: multiple stages, step dancing, storytelling, cultural demonstrations and the dog-friendly policy the festival is known for.

Announced by the organisers for 13 and 14 March 2027 in Denton. Lineup and ticket details follow on the official site.
