Irish Fest: Milwaukee, Wisconsin – USA

by | Aug 13, 2011 | Festivals Worldwide

Milwaukee Irish Fest

It’s not difficult to believe that Milwaukee Irish Fest is the world’s largest after visiting. The 75 acre Festival Park in Milwaukee is packed full of music, culture, shops, stages, food, activities, and people! It’s an amazing weekend in what I (not so jokingly) refer to as “Ireland’s 33rd County”.

If you spend the entire weekend at Irish Fest you’ll likely feel like you have traversed a county – so wear comfortable shoes!

Though the festival grounds are huge, the festival is well laid out and quite easy – if not quick – to explore from end to end. But there is quite a lot to do, so preparation is key!
