An Irish village in the heart of Cinisello Balsamo
The Ireland Festival is the event that transforms Piazza Gramsci, in the center of Cinisello Balsamo (Metropolitan City of Milan), into a true Irish village. For three days, the square fills with music, dances, the aromas of the grill, and beer: a dive into the traditions of the Emerald Isle just a few kilometers from Milan.
The heart of the festival is live music: Celtic and Irish music groups take turns on stage, while the Celtic Roses present traditional dance shows. The Ross Arpa Trio Folk leads free workshops on Celtic dance and harp, where the public can learn traditional steps and techniques.
In addition to concerts, the festival offers activities for immersion in Irish culture: 'La Bottega di Lugh' organizes weaving workshops and historical costume demonstrations, highlighting the authenticity of Celtic heritage through practical and engaging experiences, perfect even for the little ones.
The gastronomic offer is inspired by traditional pubs, with open grills and a selection of beers. Streat Food Truck's food trucks complete the culinary offering. The Ireland Festival is organized by Slow Music ETS, Barley Arts, and Buono – Food Events in collaboration with the municipal administration: a free entry event that combines music, culture, and conviviality.
The Ireland Festival 2026 takes place from March 27 to 29 in Piazza Gramsci, Cinisello Balsamo, after being postponed from the original dates of March 13-15 due to a weather alert. Three days of live Celtic music, dance shows with the Celtic Roses, free workshops on Celtic dance and harp with the Ross Arpa Trio Folk, weaving and historical costume workshops with La Bottega di Lugh, and a gastronomic offer inspired by traditional pubs with grills and beers.
