Rocky Mountain Irish Gathering

The Rocky Mountain Irish Gathering returns to Fort Collins, CO to bring you the musical entertainment event of the year! Eleven renowned local, national, and international bands will provide the best in Irish traditional and contemporary rock performances, featuring special guests the McTeggart Irish Dancers.

The Gathering goes beyond great musical performances. Our "Special Guests" will feature Irish storytelling, historical, and cultural exhibits. New to the Gathering, get ready for "Red Hair Day", a celebration of those blessed with that special Irish gene! A drawing will be held for a trip for two to Dublin for St. Patrick's Day 2024. Meet beautiful Irish Wolfhounds, the "Gentle Giants", and learn of their purpose throughout Ireland’s history.
