The Annual Irish Heritage Day is a beloved summer tradition that celebrates the enduring spirit, culture, and contributions of the Irish community in Westchester County. Hosted each year by the American Irish Association of Westchester, the event brings together families, friends, and visitors of all backgrounds for a joyful day rooted in history, pride, and community.

Irish Heritage Day is a vibrant showcase of Irish culture both past and present. Traditional Irish music fills the air, with lively performances that invite audiences to tap their feet and sing along. Irish dancers take the stage in colorful costumes, demonstrating the grace, precision, and passion that define this iconic art form. The celebration extends well beyond the stage. Attendees can explore a variety of exhibits. Food vendors serve up classic festival favorites. Local artisans and merchants add to the festive atmosphere, sharing crafts, goods, and services.

At its heart, Irish Heritage Day is about community. It honors the generations of Irish immigrants who helped shape Westchester and continues to foster a sense of belonging for Irish Americans today. Through music, dance, conversation, and shared experience, the American Irish Association of Westchester creates a welcoming space where heritage is not only remembered, but joyfully lived. Each summer, Irish Heritage Day stands as a proud reminder that Irish culture remains vibrant, inclusive, and deeply woven into the fabric of Westchester County.
