Delaware Valley Irish Organizations

There are countless ways to be Irish in the Delaware Valley. You can play traditional Irish music or dance a jig. You can play Gaelic football or build and row a replica of an ancient Irish fishing boat. You can speak the Irish language, help plan parades, explore your Irish roots, advocate for Irish immigration reform, gather with people whose families all came from Tyrone, Mayo, Cavan or Donegal ... and much more.

By far the most complete list of organizations is to be found in Tom Slattery's labor of love, the CCC Celt Directory.
