Those who love Irish music, dance, and food should make their way this August for the annual Fort Collins Irish Gathering, formerly the Rocky Mountain Irish Gathering. A three-day event celebrating Irish heritage, the highlight of this festival is the live dances and musical performances.
With authentic Irish and Celtic merchandise available for purchase as well as a myriad of food and drink vendors, this year’s Fort Collins Irish Gathering is TBD 2026 (cancelled for 2025).
In addition to the performances held throughout the weekend, the festival also goes beyond to celebrate other unique Irish contributions.
Check out the educational presentations from notable individuals making their mark on Irish History. Or ogle at the sea of red hair on Red Hair Day, representing the blessed Irish gene. Irish Wolfhounds will also be making an appearance, so you’ll have a chance to meet the gentle giant dogs.
