The Irish Heritage Club is a non-profit, non-political,
non-religious organization that organizes and promotes
activities of an Irish cultural nature in the Greater Seattle
area, the State of Washington, USA. These activities
include performances of Irish music, Irish dancing,
Irish language, Irish history, Gaelic games, and cultural
exchanges with our Sister City of Galway, Ireland. We
also sponsor concerts, plays, lectures, movies, parties and other social events.
From the Seattle Center's Evaluation of Irish Festival 2008:
"Irish Festival 2008 did a superlative job in meeting the mission of Festál and serves as an example to other Festál organizers. From the stage programming of Irish music, singing, and dancing, to the films, lectures, workshops, art, exhibits, cultural displays, booths, and marketplace vendors selling Irish and Celtic products, Irish Culture and traditions were celebrated and shared with the community at large.
"The Irish Week Festival was the largest attended festál event I have encountered to date.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the festival and appreciated the hospitality of the event organizers." CLICK PHOTO TO READ THE ENTIRE 8-PAGE EVALUATION. You must have Adobe Acrobat.
