The Jupiter Irish Fest was founded six years ago with a heartfelt mission: to bring the rich culture and timeless traditions of Ireland to the heart of Jupiter, Florida. The festival was envisioned by David McGovern, a proud Dublin native, local Tequesta Fire Captain, devoted husband, and father of four. Inspired by his Irish roots, David set out to create a one-of-a-kind experience that celebrates the authentic sights, sounds, food, drink, and spirit of Ireland.
Each year, the festival brings together families, friends, and visitors for a vibrant weekend of music, dance, traditional fare, and cultural pride—offering a true taste of Ireland, right here in South Florida.
MISSION
