Volunteer

The Dublin Irish Festival volunteer schedule is now open, and we’d love to have you join us! There are a variety of volunteer opportunities available, with more being added as additional assignment locations open.

This is your chance to be part of one of Dublin’s most celebrated traditions, meet new people and help bring the Festival to life!

Sláinte to Our 2026 Scholarship Winners

Each year, the Dublin Irish Festival recognizes graduating seniors who have made a meaningful impact through their volunteer service by awarding scholarships in celebration of their dedication and community spirit.

Congratulations to our 2026 recipients, Shrivasan and Varsana, for their outstanding commitment to the Festival. We are proud to support them as they take the next step in their journey and grateful for the time, energy and leadership they have shared with our community.
