DUBLIN, Ohio — Music, culture and dance await at one of the largest Irish festivals in the world, and guests still have time to save some green before ticket prices increase July 19. The 39th Dublin Irish Festival returns to Coffman Park July 31-Aug. 2 for an unmatched celebration of Irish music, dance, culture, food, shopping and beloved traditions.

Beginning July 19, one-day tickets will increase by $5, and the family pack, which includes two one-day tickets and two Pot O’ Gold wristbands, will increase from $55 to $70. Children ages 11 and under are free and do not require a ticket. Tickets and event details are available at DublinIrishFestival.org.

Whether discovering Irish culture for the first time or returning for a favorite annual tradition, the 2026 Festival promises a weekend filled with the spirit, sound and energy of Ireland in Central Ohio.

For nearly four decades, the Festival has welcomed world-class musicians, dancers and cultural performers from across the globe.

Beyond the music and dance, festivalgoers can explore the richness of Irish culture through savory foods, Irish whiskeys, history re-enactors, hands-on workshops, athletic demonstrations, marketplace vendors and family-friendly experiences.
