IMDA's 40th Annual

St. Patrick's Day Irish Celebration


An Authentic Irish Celebration for the Whole Family!


The Irish Music and Dance Association is delighted to welcome one and all
to a COVID Friendly 40th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Irish Celebration 2022. 
It's been so long since we could gather together to celebrate St. Patrick's Day
at beautiful Landmark Center.

IMDA will be bringing you some of your old favorites – bands that have been helping us ring the rafters in Landmark Center for many years – and some newer bands, as well.  
And there will be plenty of Irish dancing, too.  

New this year is our own Shenanigans Craft Fair, featuring handmade treasures 
from local crafters and artisans.
