Hooley on the Hudson

The City of Kingston and the Ancient Order of Hibernians Division 1, Ulster County are proud to announce the twenty-first annual Hooley on the Hudson™ Kingston Irish Festival, to be held on Sunday, September 4, 2022. The Festival will take place at the T R Gallo Memorial Park on the Rondout Creek from 11:00 AM until 9:00 PM. Four main venues will feature live music, step dancing, children’s activities, and traditional music for all ages.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians, Fr. Con Colbert Woulfe Division 1, Ulster County, and the City of Kingston invite you to be a member of its "Parade of Dignitaries" at its annual Hooley on the Hudson XXI™ to be held on Sunday, September 4, 2022 (the day before Labor Day) from 11:30 AM until 9:00PM at the beautiful waterfront at the T.R. Gallo Memorial Park on the Rondout Creek in historic Kingston, New York.  Our "Parade of Dignitaries" is one of the highlights of our Irish Festival and allows our marchers to meet with some of the 20,000 plus attendees from throughout the Northeast who have made "The Hooley" a place to gather and celebrate Irish culture with three stages of Irish music, and a  tent (for the little ones), and numerous food and craft vendors.  Focused on family, this event is free to all, Irish or not.  Indeed, many families and school groups have made "The Hooley" their meeting venue each year.

The Hooley on the Hudson XXI™ promises to surpass last year's record- breaking attendance.  Our focus on family entertainment is crucial to our event and our free admission allows families the opportunity to enjoy our proud Irish heritage without financial burden.
