Supporting Madison Irish Fest
You can help support bringing national and international Irish music and dance to Madison July 10-12 at Madison Irish Fest at Fête de Marquette.
Come and Enjoy!
Madison Irish Fest brings people together to enjoy Irish, Scottish, and Celtic music and culture. The festival is a chance to celebrate traditions, connect with neighbors, and spend time in the community. It is also simply a fun weekend filled with great music, good company, and a welcoming local atmosphere.
Buy a Ticket to Support Madison Irish Fest
In previous years, thousands of attendees bought tickets to support the talent represented at Madison Irish Fest. For Madison Irish Fest at Fête de Marquette, admission is FREE. Yet, paying the artists, bands, and performers still costs Madison Irish Fest (a nonprofit) money.
To help cover the costs of bringing world-class talent to our own backyard, we ask you to consider buying a ticket! In 2025, the ticket cost was $25. This year we have set the ticket price at $20.
