Our headliner concerts will be held at the James M. Hill High School auditorium on Friday and Saturday nights. The Evenings of Entertainment begin at 7:00 PM and feature World Class Dancers the Haley School of Irish Dance, East Coast Music Award Nominees Ardyth & Jennifer, 2-Time ECMA Winner Teresa Doyle and from Ennis, Ireland, Ceili Bandits with Geraldine Kelly

The excitement continues Friday night with an even bigger encore of last year's highly successful Cyber Pub. This year the live video link between Miramichi and The Old Ground Hotel Pub in Ennis, Ireland will occur at the Miramichi Civic Centre in Chatham, allowing even more people to experience the first - rate talent of entertainers in both communities. This is just the beginning! Afterwards, Sons of The River, the Cornerboys and some special Irish Guests will ensure that everyone gets into the mood for a fun-filled weekend by rounding out a lively first night of entertainment.

The Can-Irish flavour continues on Saturday with local favourites, the Cornerboys, followed by the young, vibrant, award winning Irish group, Dan. These two groups will ensure that toes keep tapping, hands clapping, and bodies swaying throughout the second evening!

Sunday evening takes on an Irish Festival wrap-up party atmosphere as featured festival performers combine to hold the biggest Ceilidh ever held on the Miramichi! The Pub Dogs, Hal An Tow, and the Cornerboys will be joined by the Irish Groups Dan, the Ceili Bandits and Geraldine Kelly for a jammed packed evening of Irish music for all.

This year's Irish Festival guarantees spectacular moments that will be remembered for many years to come! Don't miss it!
