THE IRISH CAN TELL A HECKUVA STORYLET US TELL YOURSIt’s no secret the Irish can tell a good story, so let us tell yours to our 90,000 attendees! With over 30 bands on seven stages, heritage workshops and displays, comedy, genealogy, a massive children’s area and so much more, there is no better way to celebrate Celtic Pride in Cowtown than Kansas City Irish Fest. Named the “Best Ethnic Festival” in Kansas City in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, & 2015 and thrice voted the “Best Festival in Kansas City” by the KC Convention & Visitors Association’s Visitors’ Choice Awards, we can credit much of our success to crafting unique sponsor experiences that seamlessly integrate brands like yours into the fabric of our festival.

YOUR CHANCE TO MEET 90,000+ NEW FANSThink you know who comes to Kansas City Irish Fest? If you’re just thinking leprechauns and redheads, think again. KC Irish Fest conducts demographic research yearly. More than 400 festival attendees were surveyed by Market and Communica-tions Research, Inc. so that community partners, sponsors and vendors can best understand our attendee and cater to their needs. Sure, you’ll find copper hued natives at the fest, but you’ll find thousands of new fans and supporters of your brand long before you spot any leprechauns.
