Please join us for a joyful celebration benefiting the Maine Irish Heritage Center, including announcing and celebrating the first inductees into our new Halla Cairde (Hall of Friends).
Honoring Our Past, Celebrating Our Future
Thursday, November 21, 2024, 6:30 pm
Reception begins at 5:30pm
The evening includes music, food & drink, building tours, and great company as we celebrate the contributions of our past Claddagh Award winners while also recognizing an inaugural class of inductees to the Halla Cairde (Hall of Friends).
For over twenty years, the MIHC has served as a cultural and community center that provides a place for people with an interest in Irish arts and culture to share their experiences. We honor the individuals and groups that have dedicated their time, talent, and treasure to keeping the spirit and culture of the Irish alive in Maine. We are thrilled to host an evening that celebrates the passion and dedication of those who have brought us to this important milestone.
At the same time, we look forward to a future full of new possibilities. But we need your help. Proceeds from this evening will help sustain our vital work to grow our programmatic offerings, support our vibrant, one of kind community, all while restoring and preserving our iconic landmark building.
The Maine Irish Heritage Center relies on the support of our members, donors and friends to help us carry out our mission to provide a community resource where connections to Maine’s Irish history and culture can flourish. Your contributions sustain us and ensure we can continue to propel our mission forward.
