The Countdown is On: 2 Months Until the 16th Annual Hudson Valley Irish Fest!
Peekskill’s Riverfront Green | September 2025

The Hudson Valley Irish Fest is turning sweet sixteen — and this year’s celebration is shaping up to be the best one yet!

In just two short months, on the scenic banks of the Hudson River in Peekskill, NY, we’ll gather once again to celebrate Irish heritage, culture, music, and community at the 16th Annual Hudson Valley Irish Fest. Whether you're a longtime fest-goer or a first-time visitor, this is your chance to experience the magic of Ireland without leaving the Hudson Valley.

A Musical Lineup You Won’t Want to Miss

We’re thrilled to announce a powerhouse lineup of performers who will take the main stage throughout the day. Get ready for:

• Shilelagh Law – Crowd favorites known for bringing the house down with their high-energy blend of traditional and contemporary Irish music.

• The Amadans – Folk-punk meets Irish soul in this lively band that always gets the crowd dancing.

• Phineas and the Lonely Leaves – Blending indie rock with rootsy storytelling, this local favorite brings heart to the Hudson.

• Chris Byrne & Seanchai – A legendary figure in Irish-American music, Chris Byrne and his band mix spoken word, punk, and traditional Irish rhythms for a performance like no other.

From traditional tunes to modern interpretations, our music lineup reflects the spirit and diversity of the Irish experience — past, present, and future.

So Much More Than Music

The Hudson Valley Irish Fest is more than just a concert — it’s a full day of cultural immersion and family fun:

• Explore authentic Irish goods from local and international vendors.

• Visit our Cultural Tent for exhibits, language workshops, and live storytelling.

• Enjoy a variety of delicious food and drink, with options for all ages.

• Let the little ones run wild with kids’ activities and crafts in our family-friendly zone.

All of this set against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful spots in the Hudson Valley: Peekskill’s Riverfront Green, with sweeping views of the river and plenty of space to relax, dance, and celebrate.
