Charlotte Irish Connection

Charlotte Irish Connection is a dynamic cultural organization dedicated to organizing and promoting Irish cultural activities throughout the Greater Charlotte, NC area. For over three decades, the organization has been the hub for celebrating all facets of Irish heritage through a comprehensive range of social, educational, literary, and artistic programming. The Charlotte Irish Connection curates diverse events spanning music, food, entertainment, dance, sports, history, and language instruction—creating multiple pathways for community members to engage with Irish culture.
