The Philadelphia Fleadh, now in it's 8th year has been chosen by Good Morning America as one of 5 Top Authentic Irish Events in the U.S. Due to the Global Pandemic, the 2020 Philadelphia Fleadh Irish Festival, scheduled for Saturday, May 9, 2020 will be a Virtual Fleadh where all performers will go live throughout the day on The Philadelphia Fleadh Irish Festival Facebook page. Be sure to tune in to see your favorite bands on May 9th!
The live festival has been moved to Saturday October 3rd. It will be held at Trifecta Sporting Club in Bensalem and will be the first annual Fall Fleadh. All tickets for the May 9th event will be honored on the new date; so you do not need new tickets. Going forward in 2021 and beyond, there will be two annual Fleadhs to mark your calendar for: The Philadelphia Fleadh at The National Guard Armory in Philadelphia on the second Saturday in May, and The Fall Fleadh at Trifecta Sporting Club in Bensalem on the first Saturday in October.
The Fleadh is the Philadelphia area's biggest annual Irish-American Festival with multiple stages featuring live Celtic Rock, Traditional Irish music and dance, shopping, vendors, food, spirits, kids activities and more. This year's entertainment includes the Best in Philly, as well as some amazing National and International Acts. Bring your instruments and dancing shoes to join the sessions with world renowned experts and jam with other like minded musicians. Hosted by John Byrne and Bill Whitman, the trad sessions have grown to be one of the most anticipated events at the Philly Fleadh.
This year we will once again feature The Celtic Flame School of Irish Dance's
Feis at The Fleadh, an open platform Irish dance competition open to all schools. There will also be dance performances by different Irish dance schools throughout the day.
