Welcome to the
Greater Rochester Irish Center
• Discover and celebrate your pride in your Irish heritage
• Learn more about the contributions of the Irish in America
• Support Irish, Celtic, Gaelic and Irish-American cultural presentations and performances in Western New York
The Greater Rochester Irish Center promotes Irish and Irish American culture through its Celtic College presentations and community events. Currently the organization meets at Johnny’s Irish Pub at 1382 Culver Road in Rochester, New York as we work to secure our own building.
The Celtic College presentations have included topics such as Gaelic language, bagpipe history, Irish dance, Irish performers, Irish genealogy and even the history of Guinness stout. The events occur at our regular member meetings and allow anyone who is interested to come and learn about their shared Irish culture. The presentations are usually an hour in length and always a lot of fun.
