June 6-9, 2024

Join us for the 16th annual Minnesota Irish Music Weekend!

Presented by the Center for Irish Music, Minnesota Irish Music Weekend is a unique festival that pairs world-class traditional Irish musicians and teachers with learners of all ages for a weekend of workshops, lectures, sessions and concerts.

Each of our visiting artists is recognized for their musical mastery, and will offer insights and techniques to help learners tap into the deep roots of traditional Irish music.

The 2024 event will be held at the Celtic Junction Arts Center.
