St Patricks Day in Peoria

This event is family friendly and is a great place for people of all ages whether you come alone or part of a large family (Irish Clans) to meet and enjoy Irish music, Irish dance and Irish refreshments.

The last weekend in August every year, St. Patrick Society of Peoria partners with the Peoria Park District to host the Peoria Irish Fest on the Peoria RiverFront. Over the years, Peoria Irish Fest (Erin Feis) has grown from a Sunday afternoon picnic to a 3-Day Irish Festival. Although the venue has changed and the scope of activities and entertainmet has grown exponentially since that first picnic, we still provide a time and place for friends and families to join together and share their interest in Irish traditions.
