You can see it if you shade your eyes just right! We are so excited for this one for a number of reasons. When this wonderful festival was first conceived of, it was an event created by musicians who loved Irish traditional music, for musicians and an audience who also loved Irish traditional music. We are still one of the only large Irish festivals in the country who place a huge significance on the traditional music of Ireland. We definitely go on tangents now and then, out to Scotland and the Maritimes and we embrace the rock and roll of it all sometimes, but traditional music has always had most of our focus. We have come home to that this year, and in a big way. As you will see if you navigate over to our Headliners page, we have some Irish trad music royalty headed our way. A pretty fabulous representative of Scotland as well, and local favorites from the Air Force are coming back to us this year.
We are aware that there were a number of issues accessing Fair Park last year, some difficulties with parking and so forth, and we want you to know that we became aware of all of that and will be putting significant effort into smoothing your path this year. So watch for some videos on this space as to how we are going to approach these things and make it a bit easier to come and join us!
This site will continue to have information added to it as we build the 43rd NTIF so keep an eye on what we’re up to over here, and start making plans to join us!
