Irish Festival

The Irish Festival in Pavullo nel Frignano

The Irish Festival is the new event dedicated to Celtic culture and Irish traditions that enlivens the heart of the Modenese Apennines. The event takes place in Pavullo nel Frignano, in the province of Modena, in the area of the Stadio Comunale Giuseppe Minelli on via Braglia, a large and easily accessible space that for three days transforms into an authentic Irish village.

Music, Beer, and Celtic Tradition

The festival offers the typical formula of major Irish festivals that tour Italy: live concerts by folk and Celtic groups, with violin, harp, flute, and bagpipes accompanying the evenings until late. There are also traditional Irish and Celtic dances, capable of engaging audiences of all ages in a festive and convivial atmosphere.

The beating heart of the event is the beer: dark stouts, red ales, and lagers from the best Celtic tradition flow from numerous stands, accompanying the island's gastronomic specialties. Among the dishes offered are grilled meats, pork shanks, and dark beer stews, traditional soups, salmon, and typical cheeses, as well as desserts paired with Irish spirits.

An Event for the Whole Family

In addition to music and gastronomy, the Irish Festival offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in Celtic culture through themed settings, craft markets, traditional games, and entertainment moments designed for children too. The Apennine setting, in a still mild late September, makes the experience ideal for a day trip to Frignano.

Pavullo'26 and the Territory

The event is part of the rich calendar of festivals and fairs Pavullo'26 — A Summer of Continuous Emotions, promoted by the Municipality of Pavullo nel Frignano and the Visit Pavullo office. The main town of Frignano, Pavullo is the central hub of the Modenese mountains in Emilia-Romagna and an ideal base for discovering villages, castles, and the flavors of the Apennines, from crescentine to typical mountain products.
