Hosted by Tara Mór near Madison Square Garden, this week-long party will feature Irish music, food, comedy and, above all else, drinks.
From August 19-23, there will be a seemingly endless stream of things to do at what Tara Mór is marketing as “New York’s first fully Irish festival.”
General admission tickets for $55 will get you into the festival all week long, but the $268 VIP ticket will grant you an open bar for the full duration of the celebration.
Iconic Irish athletes, rising music talent and known comedians will fill out what is sure to be a proud week for Irish Americans, Irish immigrants and anyone who loves what Irish culture has to offer.
