The Hudson Valley Irish Fest is a community-driven event, committed to promoting Irish arts, literature, language, history, Irish immigrant support, and all aspects of Irish American heritage in the Lower Hudson Valley.
The festival is made possible by the generous support of the men, women, and families of AOH Fighting 69th Regiment Peekskill Division 18 Westchester County Hibernians.
The Consulate General of Ireland NY also plays a crucial role, providing an annual grant from the Emigrant Support Program of the Foreign Affairs Department. Your support is what makes this celebration of Irish culture and heritage possible.
Visitors are encouraged to take MTA Metro-North's Hudson Line to Peekskill train station, immediately adjacent to the beautiful Riverfront Green, and a beautiful one-hour ride along the Hudson River from Grand Central Terminal. Ample free parking is available.
