The First-Ever Jupiter Irish Fest Promises to be a Cultural Experience

Jupiter, FL – (March 4, 2021) – Ireland U.S. Experience Entertainment announces the first-ever Jupiter Irish Fest at Abacoa Towne Center in Jupiter on Saturday, March 13, 2021, from 11 am to 10 pm. Wear your green, and bring your entire family to celebrate the Irish culture. Jupiter Irish Fest will feature authentic Irish food, drink, culture, entertainment, and live music.

Dave McGovern, Festival Director, arrived in the USA from Dublin in 2001. “You see folks, I love this country, and I am always so grateful for everything it has given me in return, but my heart has also never left Ireland. I have wanted to do this for years, and decided that March 13, 2021, St Patrick’s weekend is the best time to celebrate the Irish culture and heritage. I will do my best to bring Ireland to Jupiter, Florida in a way people have not seen before. I look forward to seeing everyone there and having the Craic.”        

Entertainment:

Jupiter Irish Fest will include performances by Rogue Theory Band, Tracy Sands, Hugh O’Neill, Rod MacDonald, The Palm Beach County Firefighters Pipes and Drums, and the Tir Na Greine Irish Dancers.
