The Irish American Heritage Center's Halfway to St. Patrick's Day event returns to the Center September 13 - 15. In addition to three days of live music and Irish dancing, there will be food, drinks, family activities, an Irish mass, and an Irish breakfast. I've included a schedule of events below.
On Sunday, headliner Kila takes the stage. Known for their "Irish jam band sound," Kila is also known to US audiences because their music was featured in the Apple-TV animated movie "Wolfwalkers."
The fun-filled three-day event celebrates all things Irish!
Fitzpatrick School of Irish Dance

Enjoy live music, great food, and Irish drinks all weekend. Don't miss special appearances by the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance, O'Hara School of Irish Dance, Fitzpatrick School of Irish Dance, The Chicago Garda Pipes & Drums, and The Shannon Rovers. The weekend wraps up on Sunday the 15th with a special Halfway to St. Patrick's Day concert with Irish superstars Kila in the Mayfair Theatre!
