HISTORY and ARCHIVE

The Crossroads Irish-American Festival is a literary, musical, and
cultural event that takes place every year in San Francisco during the month of March.

It is a celebrated annual festival inviting the public to come together around inspired, creative, and relevant events regarding Irish and Irish-American history and culture.  We are dedicated to creating a dynamic forum every year where meaningful, many-sided conversations take place about our Irish and Irish-American histories, our ancient roots and modern hybridities, our passions, our work, our presence around the globe and our creative efforts to make sense of it all!

The Crossroads Irish-American Festival is the only on-going festival of its kind in the country.

The Crossroads Irish-American Festival is a project of and fiscally
sponsored by Intersection for the Arts. It grew out of the Irish Studies Program at New College of California, which was a critical convener and collaborator in the Irish and Irish-American cultural and political landscape of San Francisco for more than a decade.
