Join McGovern Irish Dance at one of Dayton’s most exciting cultural celebrations — World A’Fair, happening May 1–3! This vibrant international festival brings together cultures from around the world through music, dance, food, and traditions, and our dancers are proud to represent Ireland throughout the weekend.
