Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley

Celebrating Irish Culture in Utica, Rome, and the Mohawk Valley

Irish culture is famous for music, dance, storytelling, and a language full of poetry. Ireland is also known for its long and fascinating history and people with a strong sense of community. Our ancestors brought all that and more here to the Mohawk Valley.
