PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Due to the new state guidelines affecting large gatherings, the 2020 Kells Irish Festival has been cancelled.

The local favorite will not be offering any activities at their festival tent. Yet, the Irish Pub and Brewery will remain open despite the festival’s cancellation. A new schedule of events happening at the pub will be available online.
