Augusta Irish Retreat 2026
At the Augusta Irish Retreat, you will choose from many dynamic sessions centered around learning Irish tunes, songs and traditions. This year’s retreat will be hosted at downtown locations in Elkins, WV. You’ll be treated to learning sessions and authentic Irish music played by master artists of the genre. Celebrate the culture you love with good friends, great music, and incredible instructors. We are delighted to have Brenda Castles, of Dublin, Ireland, once again as artistic advisor for this event. We are thrilled to have Marla Fibish (Mandolin, Vocals) Kevin Buckley (Fiddle, Guitar, Vocals) Liz Hanley (Fiddle, Vocals) and Brendan Dolan (Flute, Piano) joining Brenda as Augusta’s Irish Retreat Staff for this year’s program.
