Dubuque Irish Hooley

The DBQ Irish Hooley is a lively celebration of Irish culture held in Dubuque. It features traditional music, dance, and cuisine and offers attendees a taste of Ireland's rich heritage through engaging performances and festive activities.

The Irish heritage is deeply intertwined with the history of Clarke University and the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM). Clarke University, founded by the BVM, has a strong Irish Catholic heritage that has significantly shaped its values and community spirit.

Clarke University alumni and friends can enjoy the DBQ Irish Hooley with special discounted tickets, making it an excellent opportunity to celebrate the shared heritage and reconnect with the Clarke community.

*You can pick up your pre-purchased tickets at the Wahlert Atirum Welcome desk until August 23*
