The Irish Music Society of Tampere is a non-profit association founded in 2013. The association was founded by a group of Irish folk music enthusiasts living in Pirkanmaa. We organised our first festival of Irish music, dance and culture in 2018 in Kangasala, and from 2022 the festival has been held in Tampere. The association also organises monthly Irish music sessions.
