Michigan Irish Music Festival

The Michigan Irish Music Festival brings the traditions and energy of Ireland to Muskegon's beautiful lakeside setting each September. Across six separate stages, you'll find live music, traditional dance performances, and cultural entertainment throughout the day. The festival also features authentic Irish food at the Celtic Kitchen, beverages at The Pub, and a market filled with Celtic crafts and goods to explore. This festival is genuinely set up for families of all ages. Children have their own dedicated area—the Wee Ones' section—where younger kids can enjoy age-appropriate activities and entertainment. Whether your family wants to listen to live performers, try Irish cuisine, shop for unique items, or simply soak in the festive atmosphere by the lake, there's something to engage everyone. It's a great opportunity to experience Irish culture without traveling far from home.
