Irish Family Day - Passport to Ireland

Irish Family Day

Sunday, March 2, 2025
11:00 AM to 2:00 PM

CelticMKE Center
1532 N. Wauwatosa Ave, Wauwatosa

Back for another year, our “Passport to Ireland” theme will transform all three levels of the CelticMKE Center into terminals, transporting our guest travelers to Irish destinations.

With the help of our friendly volunteer pilots and flight attendants, families will travel to eight different counties of Ireland and Northern Ireland with a provided passport in hand. Each county will feature an activity that celebrates Irish culture, history, and traditions. From arts and crafts to storytelling and more, families are also sure to learn something along the way. Travelers will get their passports stamped at each station, earning a prize at the end of their journey.

Irish dancers will perform on our main terminal stage, and live Irish music will fill our lower terminal. Also located in our lower terminal is our Celtic Café, which will be serving lunch, beverages, and snacks.

BOGO (buy one, get one free) tickets to Milwaukee Irish Fest will also be available to purchase at the event.
