After much discussion, monitoring and studying the ever-evolving COVID-19 situation, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School. The decision was made now to help mitigate the growing challenges of the significant planning and upfront logistics required to successfully execute the School. Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School was scheduled for August 10-14, 2020.
Based on the information we have been able to glean up until this point, we feel it will be concerning for large group gatherings to be able to come together safely in August. Your health and welfare are our number one priority, and we want to play our part in keeping everyone safe.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out at: summerschool@irishfest.com. We will miss seeing you all celebrate Irish culture with us, but look forward to returning to the the third week in August (16-20), 2021.
The Irish Fest Summer School features classes that showcase the rich culture, history and traditions of Ireland and Irish America, past and present. Come learn to play the Irish fiddle, flute, tin whistle, guitar, harp, Celtic music styles, and more from master musicians. Or take a discussion class and learn about Irish history, Irish language, and culture! Our Celtic arts classes offer hands-on learning for everyone! The Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School is part of CelticMKE.
