North Texas Irish Festival

Selections

Message from the SCMA President

2010 marks our 28th festival and we feel so fortunate to be able to continue and grow this wonderful event. A look back over the years will reveal just how far we have come in that time. NTIF has grown to be one of the largest Celtic Festivals in the United States and its organizers have been recognized throughout the world for their dedication to preserving traditional Celtic cultures and providing a quality venue for all types of Celtic performers.

The festival has grown in size from a beginning on one afternoon at a local Irish Pub with an audience of about 600 dedicated Irish music fans to a three day event hosting more than 60,000 people, some of whom are being introduced to this music and culture for the first time. And there isn’t any way that any of it could have happened without you. NTIF has unarguably the most stalwart supporters of any event of this type, and we appreciate all of your support. With your help we have weathered many difficult times, most of which had to do with, yes, the weather. Wind, ice, snow, sleet, rain, you name it, we’ve had it. Even good weather! And we’re still here! We have a growing list of wonderful corporate sponsors that we value highly, but none more than you, the NTIF friends and fans.

We are still seeing the fallout from the economic crises of the past year. There are signs that a recovery is underway, but it's difficult for people to trust in it. Sacrifices are still being made, both on an individual level and a corporate level, including the SCMA and NTIF. Our corporate sponsors are having a difficult time, but continue to support us to the extent that they are able, and we are grateful for that. We continue to use our resources responsibly, and budget ourselves properly, and we feel that we provide a tremendous entertainment value for dollars spent. We continue to need your financial support this year, and want you to join with us in celebrating the festival that we have all had a hand in creating.

An individual sponsorship donation enables you to support this terrific festival while enjoying some great benefits including VIP passes, complimentary T-shirts and programs, additional weekend passes for your friends and family, and the opportunity to join our festival staff and musicians in the festival hospitality suite. For our very special sponsors we include a complimentary weekend stay at the Festival Hotel. Please take a moment to read through the various sponsorship packages that we are offering this year and become an exclusive part of the rich tradition that is the North Texas Irish Festival.

Thank you as always for your strong support of Celtic music in North Texas.

Sheri Bush,
President, SCMA
