Irish Connections is a festival of Irish culture that has been celebrated annually in various forms, under the auspices of the Irish Cultural Centre of New England, since 1990. In 2004, its location moved from Stonehill College to the organization’s own impressive and growing campus in Canton, MA just 25 minutes south of Boston.
2007 will mark a re-launch and re-design of the Festival to reflect the new cultural directions of Ireland and its Diaspora. This festival will celebrate the old and the new, traditional and contemporary, classic with avant-garde, how music is enjoyed in Ireland and how it is enjoyed throughout the world in the Irish style: friendly, welcoming, adventurous and spirited.
There is an amazing line-up, including the Black Crowes, Paddy Keenan, the Saw Doctors, the Dropkick Murphys, Black 47, Dervish, Uncle Earl, Liz Carroll, Altan, Kevin Burke and Johnny B. Connolly, Nancy Griffith, and many many more.

As you'll see, the event has been moved from June to August, in hopes of avoiding the drenching rains that have often complicated matters.
