St. Pat Irish Festival

May 3rd, 2026. 1 to 8 PM

Proceeds support St. Patrick Senior Center – serving over 3000 clients with meals, wellness programs, benefits assistance, classes and activities, transportation, technology and entrepreneurial training, and more.

PLEASE NOTE: A long-overdue elevator renovation is happening with a generous grant from the city of Detroit. Access at this year’s festival will be STAIRS ONLY. You’ll still enjoy the music, food, drinks and family fun you love, just in a bit smaller, more relaxed atmosphere this year.
