Join us for the 14th annual Minnesota Irish Music Weekend! 

Presented by the Center for Irish Music, Minnesota Irish Music Weekend is a unique festival that pairs world-class traditional Irish musicians and teachers with learners of all ages for a weekend of workshops, lectures, sessions and concerts.

Each of our visiting artists is recognized for their musical mastery and will offer insights and techniques to help learners tap into the deep roots of traditional Irish music.

The 2022 event will be held in person, with opportunities for virtual participation, at our home at the Celtic Junction Arts Center. We plan on offering a limited virtual workshop program for adults. The Saturday Night Master Artists Concert will be broadcast live.
