Welcome to Grafton Street Marketplace at the Irish Fair of Minnesota! Here you will find shops offering Irish jewelry, clothing, and crafts.
The Marketplace is named after Grafton Street in Dublin, one of the two primary shopping areas in Ireland’s capital city. The original laneway followed the now-culverted River Steyne and was primarily residential until the early 1700s. Grafton Street has seen many developments and renovations in its 300 year history and is today one of the busiest shopping streets in Europe.
Irish Fair has three shopping tents that comprise our Marketplace and are named after three of the streets that cross or intersect with Grafton Street in Dublin.
