Liverpool Irish Festival

17 October - 2 November 2008

The 6th annual festival celebrating the links between Liverpool and Ireland. Each year the festival has grown in popularity. The appreciation and celebration of the unique links between Liverpool and Ireland were primary motives for the creation of the Liverpool Irish Festival in 2003. The idea was to create a permanent, annual, event to celebrate Liverpool’s Irish heritage. It would include performance, participation, entertainment and education in Irish traditions, music, literature, theatre, and art and reflect their significance in defining Liverpool’s culture as a great European city. The ambition was that the Festival would develop to take its place among the world’s leading arts and music festivals.
