St. Patrick's Fest' Information
McConnell Irish Dancers host a yearly St. Patrick's Day event every March 17th to promote Irish culture and celebrate Ireland's Patron Saint. Due to the pandemic, the event was cancelled in 2020 and held virtually in 2021. We are delighted to return to a fully in-person festival for 2022.
Over the years, St. Patrick's Fest has grown to become Winnipeg's largest St. Patrick's Day event. Traditional Irish food and beverages are available along with continuous entertainment, an Irish market, silent auctions, and fun activities for families and children.
For 2022, the event will be held with 50% capacity limits to allow for ample physical distancing. At this time we are not planning to serve meals but snacks may be available and the bar will be open. In addition to performances from the dancers, there will be live traditional Irish music and songs in a fun, family atmosphere.
All dancers are invited and encouraged to perform St. Patrick's Fest'. This is a great event for family and friends to attend to cheer on the dancers and celebrate St. Patrick's Day!
