Dust off your boots. We’re having a Barn Dance.
Join us in East Durham for an afternoon of live music, dancing, food, drinks, and good company, all while supporting the upcoming 50th Anniversary of the East Durham Irish Festival.

There’s still plenty of work ahead as we prepare for this milestone year, from improvements around the grounds to the children’s area, entertainment, and everything that goes into making the festival something our community can be proud of.

Come out, have a good time, and help us make the 50th one to remember.

Can’t make it? You can still support the festival by donating.
