Always a great time and great music. I liked the wristband where you can purchase your drinks with it. But I did not like the tipping system It made you feel like you were forced into making a 10 to 18% tip each time you went up for a $6 drink.

We spent the last two days here at the Irish Festival. So much energy and what a great atmosphere. We had such a great time. The people of LaCrosse are great. The fireworks were amazing. Good food and good beer and good vendors .
What fun ! This place is huge. This festival is so lit & joysome. Good music, food & drinks. Enthralling & frankly seeing so many people enjoying themselves is a sheer delight 😁
It was an experience. As someone who's not a huge beer drinker, there wasn't much besides food trucks to offer. The tents with bands were cool, but it's $20 to get in and is rather small. Good vibe and lots of people.
