Guinness Cincinnati Celtic Festival presented by Red Leprechaun Returns to The Banks Bigger Than Ever With Justice Joseph Deters as Honorary Chairman

CINCINNATI- Coldiron Enterprises is excited to announce the 2023 Guinness Cincinnati Celtic Festival presented by Red Leprechaun, located on Freedom Way at the Banks just outside of Great American Ball Park. The event will take place July 14-16.

Join us for a fun-filled weekend of live music, dancing, games, great food, and cold beverages, all with a Celtic flair. Stop in the Guinness Experience test for Guinness samplings with US Guinness Brewing Ambassador Jimmy Calahan and attend one of our many Whiskey tastings that will be taking place throughout the weekend.

Patrons can see performances from elite Celtic bands such as Lost Celts, Dulahan, Rocky Creek, Fintan, Desmond & Duff as well as local superstars, the Naked Karate Girls and Doghouse while enjoying a perfectly poured Guinness and filling up on bangers and mash. In addition, a second, separate stage will feature shorter performances by local dancing with groups like the McGing Irish Dancers and Cincinnati Highland Dancers, live music, and contests such as Celtic Idol and the ‘Reddest Hair.’

We are so excited to announce that Ohio Supreme Court Justice Joseph Deters, is the 2023 honorary chairman and will be hosting the opening ceremony on Friday night which will feature a performance from the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Glee Club.
