Irish Ceili

Céad Míle Fáilte – Welcome to the Burlington Irish Heritage Festival

Welcome to the 29th Annual Burlington Irish Heritage Festival, a celebration of the rich and vibrant tapestry of Irish culture that has woven its way into the hearts and history of countless individuals around the world. Our festival is a tribute to the enduring spirit and heritage of the Emerald Isle.

2024 marks the centennial of Ireland’s being recognized as an independent country by the United States. What better occasion to celebrate with ceilis and concerts, informational presentations, and a special tribute concert bringing esteemed musicians from New England and beyond, to honor the late Mick Moloney. This year will also bring a more participatory focus to the Festival, with opportunities to share or learn skills, musical and otherwise. Search our schedule for singalong, Aran knitting, baking, Irish language, and more!

The Festival wouldn’t exist without the generosity of our donors. Thank you all, and we hope to meet you at one or more of our events. We are also very grateful to our many sponsors providing venues and other means of support, including the Fletcher Free Library, St. Michael’s College Fine Arts Department, Young Tradition Vermont at Vermont Folklife, the Vermont Genealogy Library, and our longtime friend, Mark Sustic, the powerhouse behind our tribute concert.
