We’re turning up the volume on hometown pride with the launch of our local music lineup for Buffalo Irish Festival 2025!  From Celtic rock to pub singalongs, these five Buffalo-based bands—Kilrush, Crikwater, McCarthyizm, The Blarney Bunch, and The Jerry Shea Band—are bringing serious energy, tradition, and talent to the main stage this August. Each one adds its own unique flavor to a weekend packed with music, culture, and craic.  

Plus we will be featuring some of the best in Irish dance from Buffalo's own world renowned dance schools: Rince Na Tiara School of Irish Dance and the Harris-Grieco Academy of Irish Dance.
