Irish in California

26 listings for California so far, each checked against the official source. More states and listings are added in waves.

United Irish Cultural Center

San Francisco, California · 2700 45th Avenue, San Francisco

San Francisco's Irish home since 1975, out by the zoo: a library, a bar and hall for concerts and ceilis, and Irish language classes that draw some of the biggest learner gatherings in the country.

The centre has been the west coast anchor of Irish America for fifty years. The programme is the draw: Saturday Irish language classes, traditional music sessions, concerts, a summer Irish camp for children and the Leo T. Walsh scholarship programme for young musicians and dancers.

If you are passing through the city, time a visit to an event night rather than a quiet weekday. The centre's own calendar carries what is on, from set dancing to visiting speakers from Ireland.

Visiting: Programme-led: classes, concerts and events run through the year rather than set visiting hours. Check the calendar on the official site.
