"Matt Miller's passion and dedication to promoting Irish and Celtic heritage were unmatched," said John Hogerty, President of the Irish Fest of the Fox Cities Board. "We are honored to continue his legacy and produce a festival that would make him proud."
 
With Ornua Ingredients returning as its presenting sponsor for a third consecutive year, Irish Fest of the Fox Cities excitedly announces Eileen Ivers and Skerryvore as its headlining acts for 2024.

Planning efforts are underway with the help of festival organizer Bridget Ward from Milwaukee Irish Fest and Mark Hudson, a longtime fest volunteer and friend to Matt Miller. The organization is grateful for their involvement and the expertise they’ll bring to the festival.
