Dear Friend of the Festival,

2025 marks our 43^rd festival! Happy Anniversary to us! What a wonderful festival we had in 2024. Everything just worked together so well, including the weather! We feel so fortunate to be able to continue and grow this stellar event. NTIF continues to be one of the largest Irish Festivals in the United States and its organizers have been recognized throughout the world for their dedication to preserving traditional Celtic cultures and providing a quality venue for all types of Irish and Celtic performers.

I come to you every year with an opportunity to help us continue to produce this amazing event, and this year is no different. The need is always great as we continue to improve and rebuild this event; we need all hands on deck. We are proud of this festival, and the community that surrounds it, and that community has always rallied to help us. NTIF started as a small, several hour event in 1983 and has grown to a three-day event hosting more than 50,000 people. Quite a few of those people are being introduced to this music and culture for the first time, and none of it could have happened without you. It’s no surprise that we have the most loyal supporters of any event of this type, and we appreciate all your support.

We know that we are not the only ones asking for support from the community. Every arts organization has had their own challenges. Ours are more numerous than usual, but NTIF wants to be a little oasis in the year for some fun and celebration of a wonderful heritage that brings enormous joy to so many, and we know that everyone needs that bit of fun and relief. If you are in a position to help, we need your financial support to continue bringing this terrific event to life. If you are not, rest assured we will still do our best to bring a wonderful event to everyone coming through our gates.

Purchase of any of our individual tax-deductible VIP packages enables you to support this terrific festival while enjoying some great benefits, including, for four of the packages, access to our VIP hospitality area. Some of our packages also include a fabulous and informational whisky tasting led by our own Marius Donnelly, for years the proprietor of the late, lamented Trinity Hall. Don’t miss that! A new option this year includes a special NTIF logo commissioned piece by one of our own, as well as choices for you on several levels. For our top level VIPs we include a complimentary weekend stay at the Festival Host Hotel. Thanks to your continued support, we are able to provide a measure of convenience to all patrons, in the form of complimentary shuttle transportation between host hotel and NTIF.
