Jupiter Irish Fest: A Local Tradition with Irish Heart
Five years ago, the Jupiter Irish Fest kicked off with one big goal—bringing the spirit of Ireland right here to Jupiter in a way no one had done before. It all started with David McGovern, a Dublin-born local who now serves as a Tequesta Fire Captain, a devoted husband, and a father of four. With a passion for sharing his heritage, David set out to create an unforgettable festival full of Irish culture, music, food, and fun. But beyond the celebration, his mission is to give back—supporting four incredible local charities while keeping the Irish traditions alive in our community.
Get ready for a weekend packed with authentic Irish food and drinks, live music, pipe and drum performances, Irish dancers, whiskey tastings, pint-pulling experiences, hurling matches, a costume contest, and so much more!
