A Night of Music, Magic, and Green: Woodward’s 3rd Annual Irish Fest!

Dust off your dancing shoes and get ready to channel your inner Gael—the Woodward Irish Fest is back for its third year, and it’s shaping up to be our biggest celebration yet!

What started as a small community gathering has quickly become a highlight of the Woodward calendar. It’s more than just a performance; it’s a night where the spirit of the community meets the soul of Ireland, all for a cause that keeps our students running, jumping, and competing.

🎻 The Sounds and Spirit of Devri

The heart of the evening is the return of Devri, our incredible local Irish band, featuring Declan Houton, Larry Flint, Chuck Parrish, and Steve O'Callaghann, and sometimes more! If you’ve seen them before, you know they bring an unbelievable energy to the stage. From all styles of Irish music to classic and modern rock to country and folk, Devri does it all.

But the real magic isn’t just in their instruments and lyrics. In an incredible display of community spirit, Devri donates 100% of the event’s sales back to the school. When you buy a ticket, a drink, or a meal, you aren't just paying for a great time—you’re investing directly in our kids.

☘️ What to Expect

Live Music: Non-stop performances by Devri and special guests.
Authentic Fare: Great food to keep your energy up for the dance floor.
The Unexpected: If history has taught us anything, it’s that Irish Fest is full of surprises. From unannounced guest performers to special prizes, you never know what the night might hold!

🏆 Supporting a Legacy: Woodward Athletics

Woodward has always stood for excellence, both in the classroom and on the field. We have long believed that athletics are the "heartbeat" of the student experience—teaching teamwork, resilience, and discipline.

Our athletic programs have grown and changed over the years, but always deliver an experience students carry with them through their lives. However, maintaining top-tier equipment, safe facilities, and travel opportunities for our teams requires more than just the dedication of our amazing coaching staff; it requires funding.

Every dollar raised at Irish Fest goes directly to the Woodward Athletics Program. Whether it's new jerseys for the volleyball team or time at the YMCA for the basketball team to practice, your presence at this event ensures our students have the tools they need to win.

Join Us!

Come for the music, stay for the community, and leave knowing you’ve made a difference for every athlete at Woodward. Let’s make the 3rd Annual Irish Fest the most successful one yet.

Sláinte!
