The Emerald Isle Irish Féile seeks to present authentic and varied activities to recognize, showcase, and preserve Beaver Island’s unique Irish heritage including its connection to Arranmore Island, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland. The festival also extends Beaver Island’s tourism season by one week to promote economic development. The Emerald Isle Féile was started in 2019, sponsored by the Beaver Island Chamber of Commerce as well as multiple private individuals, businesses, and nonprofits. Today the festival is the signature event of the nonprofit corporation, Beaver Island Irish Heritage Group.
