About Hibernian Society of Utah

The Hibernian Society of Utah is a community-driven organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating Irish heritage in Salt Lake City, UT. Based in Utah's capital, the organization serves the local community through a comprehensive range of cultural and charitable initiatives designed to honor Irish traditions while supporting local causes. The society's primary activities include organizing and executing major community events, with their signature St. Patrick's Day parade standing as the flagship annual celebration that draws over 20,000 spectators and participants each year. Beyond parade coordination, the Hibernian Society of Utah actively supports local charities through various fundraising events and community engagement programs. The organization provides opportunities for individuals to get involved in meaningful activities that build lasting friendships while contributing to charitable causes. Whether through parade entry applications, volunteer opportunities, or event participation, the Hibernian Society of Utah offers multiple pathways for community members in Salt Lake City to connect with Irish culture and support local charitable efforts. With roots dating back to 1977, when four enthusiastic individuals sparked the tradition of celebrating Irish heritage on Salt Lake City streets, the organization has grown into a significant cultural institution. Today, it continues its mission of bringing people together through education, celebration, and advocacy, making it a cornerstone of Irish-American community life in Utah.
