Pipe dream? Nope! Largest celebration of Irish culture in Southwest showcases all things pipes in its 33rd year as part of festival, which also includes dancing, dining and more in Dallas’ Fair Park
The pipes may have called Danny Boy away, but this year, they will bring thousands of fans of this beloved festival back to Dallas’ Fair Park March 6-8, 2015, for everyone’s favorite celebration of Irish music and culture, the North Texas Irish Festival. Presented by the Southwest Celtic Music Association, a non-profit that promotes the great traditions of Irish culture, this largest cultural festival in DFW is also revered as one of the best Irish festivals in the U.S.
This year’s theme, The Pipes Are Calling, is a nod to that unique instrument so beloved in Celtic culture that produces such a haunting sound that it is a stirring call to arms and battle, as well as to tell tales of love and lore. From the traditional Scottish great pipes that most people recognize as “bagpipes,” the festival will also feature the world’s top musicians on the uillean pipes, or small pipes, the national bagpipe of Ireland, and the gaita, the bagpipes of Galicia from Spain’s northwestern region.
