Paint the town green as the Emerald Isle sends some of its most entertaining exports and expats to Newport in this three-day celebration of continuous Celtic shenanigans! Kick up your heels and let your Irish lilt ring loud with traditional Irish step-dance, comedy routines, and the spirited sounds of nonstop Irish music, including The Elders, Eileen Ivers, The Screaming Orphans and many more. From the "Rainbow's End" kidStop to the creamy Guinness on tap, there's something for everyone at this shamrockin' festival!
