NTIF Needs Your Help

The North Texas Irish Festival has been a beloved tradition for more than four decades — but this year, we are facing significant financial challenges. Rising production costs, venue expenses, and the increasing cost of bringing world-class performers to Dallas have put real strain on our volunteer-run organization.

As a 100% volunteer-operated nonprofit, we rely entirely on community support. Without additional funding, continuing the festival in the way our community knows and loves becomes increasingly difficult.

To be candid: We need your donation to keep the festival running!

If this festival has ever brought joy to your family, connected you to your heritage, or given you a place to belong, we humbly ask for your help. Your donation directly supports the Southwest Celtic Music Association and ensures that NTIF can continue sharing Celtic music, dance, arts, and culture with North Texas.

Your financial support truly makes the difference — and we cannot continue without it.
