Rockhurst University is returning to KC Irish Fest, and you’re invited to join us for a festive evening at our exclusive hospitality tent from 6:00 to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 5! 

Enjoy toe-tapping Irish music, great company, and a vibrant atmosphere as you connect with fellow Hawks. Your $20 ticket includes all-day admission to Irish Fest, plus access to the Rockhurst hospitality tent from 6:00-11:00 PM located within the Emerald Club—a premium area that offers:

• Great views of the Boulevard Stage
• Shaded seating
• A dedicated Emerald Club bar
• Private, air-conditioned restroom trailer

Inside our tent, you’ll also receive two beverage tickets (good for beer, wine, seltzer, soda, or water), an exclusive 2026 RU Irish Fest cup, and light snacks. Be sure to wear your RU blue to be entered into a raffle drawing!

Our hospitality tent—generously hosted by Jim and Ellen Glynn, ’74—is in Washington Square Park, near the main Boulevard Stage, so you won’t miss a moment of the music and fun.
