The three-day Dublin Irish Festival puts emphasis not only on pleasure and merriment, but also on history and culture. A great number of educational and historical opportunities, ranging from workshops to the seminars, to the Irish influence in world music reflect the cultural disposition of the event. Due to its non-traditional approach, the festival draws thousands of spectators.

The increased penetration of one culture into another has resulted in the establishment of festivals within a specific country that are dedicated to the particular events, traditions and culture of another country. Irish culture, for example, is seen as one of the richest and most unique, which explains the observance of Irish customs worldwide. In Ireland, they don't just celebrate one Celtic festival, they recognize several: the National Celtic Festival, the Hebridean Celtic Festival and Clogane and Brandon Celtic Festival of Lughnasa, all of them being observed far beyond the bounds of Ireland.
