The mission of the Michigan Irish Music Festival is to produce a quality Midwest Irish Music Festival that promotes Irish culture and heritage while enhancing the community through entertainment, tourism, education and philanthropy. The festival is proud to support Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry and Kid’s Food Basket with gifts of non-perishable food items and cash donations. In 2015, due to the success of the St. Pat’s Party and the Festival, the Michigan Irish Music Festival was able to do donate over 3000 pounds of food and $37,309 to these organizations.

The annual St. Patrick’s Party is this Friday and Saturday March 17 and 18 at the Bella Maria Ristorante & Event Center, located at 513 West Pontaluna Road, Norton Shores, MI. The new venue offers increased capacity and better acoustics, center stage entertainment, and separate gathering areas for guests to mingle. Doors open at 5:30 pm both nights with music starting at 6pm. Tickets are $6 and are available at the door.

There are GREAT sponsors of this event who help make it happen. Our special thanks to Mercy Health, Budweiser, G&L Restaurants, Wadell and Reed Financial Advisers and Family Financial Credit Union.
