The An Rí Rá Montana Irish Festival is a celebration of the Irish heritage and contribution to the people of Montana. This festival has created its place as a world-class event that draws people from not only Montana, but across the United States and internationally. The An Rí Rá is regarded as one of the best Irish festivals in North America.

Be prepared with your lawn chair and umbrella for this beautiful outdoor Montana event.

We will be having two of the above water bottle refilling stations at this years festival. Bottled water will still be sold, but with all the waste and plastic involved we would like to see these used extensively. We will also have An Ri Ra water bottles for sale.
