Come out to celebrate the heritage, history and culture of the Irish people at the annual An Ri Ra Montana Irish Festival.

Living in such a diverse country, this is the perfect opportunity to get to learn a little more by yourself or your neighbors.

The An Ri Ra Montana Irish Festival will open your eyes to the great food, traditions and art that the Irish have contributed to the melting pot of America.

There will be a variety of shops and songs to suit your every Irish need.
