Turning the state of Maine green!

For a second year in a row, the Maine Irish Heritage Center has encouraged businesses and municipal buildings across the state to fly the Irish flag or light their buildings green in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. One in six Mainers are of Irish descent and the Irish are closely interwoven into the history and heritage of the state. Check out the following locations that joined us in honoring Maine’s rich Irish heritage for St. Patrick’s Day 2022! Be sure to click through the slide show under each location by clicking on the arrows to the left or the right of the image to explore all of the locations!
