Comhpháirtíocht Chultúrtha
(Gaelic for cultural partnership)


CelticMKE, the nonprofit organization behind Milwaukee Irish Fest, is proud to announce a new cultural partnership with Áras Chrónáin, a renowned Irish cultural center located in Clondalkin, South Dublin.

This collaboration aims to deepen the connection between Irish and Irish American communities by preserving, promoting, and honoring the rich heritage of the Irish language, music, and Celtic cultures.


Áras Chrónáin, the headquarters of the nonprofit organization Muintir Chrónáin, serves as a vibrant hub for Irish language, music, song, dance, and culture, welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds.

Through organizing social and educational events, Áras Chrónáin has become a cornerstone in the promotion and development of Irish culture in the Clondalkin and South Dublin County communities.

Aras Chronain Irish Cultural Centre
CelticMKE's mission is to promote and celebrate all aspects of Irish, Irish American, and Celtic cultures, instilling in current and future generations an appreciation of their heritage. The organization achieves this through its signature event, Milwaukee Irish Fest, and through various programs, such as the Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School, Milwaukee Irish Fest School of Music, Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School, Milwaukee Irish Fest Foundation, concerts, family-friendly programming, and the Ward Irish Music Archives.

Together, CelticMKE and Áras Chrónáin will engage in inclusive programs and exchanges that create opportunities for artistic and audience growth, both old and new. This partnership will continue to nourish the cultural and historic links between our communities.

"Ar scáth a chéile amhaireann na daoine"—"In the shadow of each other, we will succeed."

Stay tuned for future newsletter editions, which will include content features from our partners at Áras Chrónáin, such as the Gaelic word of the month!
