“The Upland Irish Festival returns March 14th thru 15th. It’s a weekend of family-friendly fun where Irish celebrations are brought to Upland! This community-driven event is back for its second year under the direction of Soundskilz and will provide SoCal residents with a diverse array of food, music and fun.”

“This FREE two-day event is a celebration of culture, community, and camaraderie with a touch of tradition. Perhaps a bit of the blarney, too. The Upland Irish Festival is the perfect destination for locals and any and all highlanders looking for a taste of home, to come together.”

“The festival is an immersive experience for the whole family.” Guests will experience live musical entertainment featuring various popular cover-band acts such as Stevie Nicks Illusion, LA Vation (U2 Tribute) and more, as well as live DJs and dancing. Visitors can also satisfy their taste buds at various appealing food booths serving up plenty of both savory and sweet delights, along with a selection of refreshing drinks. An authentic Irish Stout will be available of draft. Those in attendance can also explore the marketplace, showcasing numerous retail vendors offering a range of unique goods. Plus bar tours, axe throwing, mini wrestling, games for all ages, a dedicated kids zone, and more!”

"This festival is a fantastic way to bring people together, not just in Upland but across the region. It’s a chance to share what makes our city so special—our people, our hospitality, and our ability to celebrate this community in a big way,” said recently reelected Mayor Bill Velto, “At the end of the day, I hope people come away with great memories and maybe even a little inspiration to come back and visit us again throughout the year."”
