Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters of the CT Irish Festival,

After careful deliberations, taking into consideration the health and safety of our members and guests, the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 CT Irish Festival has been made. We are deeply saddened as this will mean the end of the longest running Irish festival in the country. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten our community and with the anticipated resurgence, it does not appear that we will be able to provide a safe and enjoyable experience within the current guidelines and restrictions that are in place. This decision was not made lightly, and we have taken into consideration the guidance from local, state, and federal health departments which does not make the festival feasible at this time. Rest assured, we will continue to plan for next year and we will be back bigger and better. We appreciate your continued support, wish you good health and safety, and look forward to seeing you in 2021!

Respectfully,
