Saddle up and get ready to gallop… Irish Fair is bringing you A Night at the Races!
Join us for an evening packed with excitement as we bring the thrill of the racetrack to you—no fancy hat required. Place your bets on real, recorded horse races, root for your favorites, and turn your winnings into fabulous prizes.
Choose which horse sounds most likely to win. Will Sir Gallop-a-Lot or Hoof Hearted win? Or will it be a horse that you named? You can spend your funny money on any horse for a chance to win. It’s a night of friendly competition, good company, and great craic—all for a great cause. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the action!
Every dollar raised helps keep the Irish Fair of Minnesota alive and thriving — preserving our community’s culture, music, and spirit for years to come.

It’s easy to join the fun!
Your ticket includes $100 in Funny Money to start placing bets. We’ll run five thrilling races, beginning at 7:30 PM and continuing every 45 minutes throughout the evening.
You can bet as little—or as boldly—as you like on each race. Didn’t pick a winner in the first race and need more Funny Money? No problem! You can top up anytime: $20 gets you another $100 in Funny Money.
