“Kells has always been about bringing people together to celebrate life and Irish culture,” said Patrick Pearse McAleese, owner of Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub. “This year’s festival will be no exception - it’s a chance to honor our heritage, share good food and drink, and enjoy incredible entertainment with the community.”
“Each year, we strive to make the festival bigger and better,” McAleese added. “From the music to the food, and the unforgettable atmosphere of Kells, it’s truly an experience like no other.”
Looking ahead, the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be played in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Seattle will host six matches at Lumen Field. The countdown is underway, and Kells is preparing to host a series of events celebrating the FIFA World Cup coming to Seattle. Kells is located in Pike Place Market - the heart and soul of the city.
