It’s going to be a busy weekend at the BIC Center. In addition to our regular Friday events (Coffee & Donuts along with Yoga), we have a full schedule of Irish Féile events on tap. Please note that a Festival Wristband is required for entrance to all events except the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and, unfortunately, the Festival is sold out.
FRIDAY

Featuring Roane, whose driving acoustic sound, soaring vocal harmonies, and fresh take on traditional and original Celtic music have earned them a devoted following.
5:45 PM | Bastard Bearded Irishmen | Theater
Hailing from Pittsburgh, the Bastard Bearded Irishmen bring a spirited, high-energy take on Irish music and a healthy dose of Celtic revelry to the BIC Center stage.
8:00 PM | Altan | Theater
One of Ireland’s most celebrated traditional music groups, Altan has spent four decades bringing the distinctive fiddle traditions and songs of County Donegal to audiences around the world.
