Céad Míle Fáilte'! The NJ Irish Festival committee hopes that our many supporters and participants are well during these challenging times.

Last year we were scheduled to host our 50th Festival – an amazing anniversary. Regretfully, we had to cancel as did many other events due to the pandemic. We have been carefully considering our options for 2021 and what might be possible. We look forward to the easing of restrictions over time, however given the number likely to still be in place and the advance planning required for our usual event, it is not feasible to have a Festival in 2021. We prefer to wait until it’s safe to host the great event people have come to know over the past 50 years.

There is some good news!
We will have a Human Horse Race at Monmouth Park Racetrack on Saturday, June 5. 
This fun event is also a great fundraiser for charity and so many are in need. Monmouth Park Racetrack has confirmed that we can conduct this safely for our horses and spectators.

Our full Festival will be back on Sunday, June 5, 2022 and we are planning quite a celebration for our 50th. We look forward to seeing you then and may you and yours be safe until we meet again. Slainté and Rath Dé ort!
