County Sumner Irish Festival

*Sumner County Tourism has made the extremely difficult decision to cancel the 2025 County Sumner Irish Festival due to a lack of participation and interest levels. Our goal is to create an exceptional experience that benefits our vendors, entertains our guests, and celebrates Irish heritage in the best possible way.

Out of respect for our vendors, entertainers, and festival attendees, we believe this decision is in the best interest of all involved. While we will not be hosting the festival this year, please know that we are already working diligently to plan and prepare for a bigger and better multi-day County Sumner Irish Festival in 2026.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support. We look forward to bringing the community an enhanced and more enjoyable festival experience in the future.

For any questions or further information, please contact Sumner County Tourism.

Thank you for your support!*

The County Sumner Irish Festival is a fantastic event held in March at Bledsoe’s Fort Historical Park in Castalian Springs, Tennessee. The park is home to an authentic Irish cottage built by Hugh Rogan in the late 1790s, as well as a historic trail that runs alongside a settler cemetery and remnants of a 19th-century spring house.

Live Irish music is sure to have you dancing and toe-tapping! Food and fun create the perfect festive celebration! The event also includes guided hikes, storytelling, craft beer from Half Batch Brewing, historic house tours, kids activities, and food vendors.

Wear your favorite Irish-themed attire to participate in the costume contest, pets included, where prizes will be given away!

Please, no outside food or drinks.
