The festival will feature authentic Irish music and food, Irish dancing, children’s activities and historical insight.
The inaugural Lowcountry Irish Festival will take place Saturday February 11th and Sunday February 12th at Omar Shriners Auditorium in Mt. Pleasant, SC.
With Charleston’s rich history in the Irish and Celtic culture at the forefront, this event will be thriving with tradition!
