Those who love Irish music, dance, and food should make their way to Fort Collins this August for the annual 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 Rocky Mountain Irish Gathering takes place from Friday to Sunday, August 11th to 13th, 2023 at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins. Previously held outdoors, the new venue will allow the festival to occur rain or shine.

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.
