2013 Maryland Irish Festival The Maryland Irish Festival is presented by Irish Charities of Maryland and held annually at the Timonium Fair Grounds on the second weekend in November. This annual celebration of Irish culture features local, regional and international Irish music and dance; traditional cuisine; cultural exhibits and workshops; with a wide variety of quality vendors of Irish goods. The festival kicks off on Friday evening with special Happy Hour pricing, including reduced ticket and drink prices until 8pm! Join us as we celebrate our Irish culture with great music, food, beer and vendors of all things Irish! We have a large dedicated kids play area with bouncy castles, activities, games etc. The modest admission fee to the festival goes to support the many charitable causes of our own Baltimore community. It’s a family affair, so come out, have fun and be part of this great charitable endeavor.
