Sept. 19 is day one of the Erie Irish Festival for 2025. 

It is located at St. Patrick's Church on 130 East Fourth Street, and there are free admission and free parking for attendees. 

There is food, drinks, entertainment with live music and performances, a leprechaun village for children and a sports tent to watch a game. 

The remaining days and hours for the festival are Sept. 20 from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Sept. 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Mary Therese Causgrove, chairperson for the Erie Irish Festival says, "I mean, ultimately, it's great just to have everyone downtown— we're getting into those colder months so it's nice to have one more weekend where we're able to be outside and enjoy each other, and truly it is just everyone working together to get this started. We have a ton of really great committee chairs that all put in so much time to be able to make this happen. So, it's really great for the community to be able to come down and enjoy it."
