Make time for these
The Féile started in 2019 to celebrate Beaver Island's ties to Arranmore Island in County Donegal and has since become the signature event of the nonprofit Beaver Island Irish Heritage Group. The sold-out sixth edition (Sept 11–12, 2026) featured Altan, the Arranmore Pipe Band, Bastard Bearded Irishmen, The Kreellers and others, with free workshops, currach races, the Irish-American Hall of Fame ceremony and children's activities. The island is reached only by ferry or plane from Charlevoix.
