Irish American Heritage Center

Venues & Event Spaces
Hours: The Irish American Heritage Center is a vibrant and multifaceted organization dedicated to the practice, study, and celebration of Irish, Celtic, and Irish-American cultural traditions. Located in a sprawling 86,000-square-foot building on the city's northwest side, the center offers a diverse range of activities and amenities. Visitors can explore the center's library, auditorium, museum, and gift shop, all housed within a beautifully preserved historic structure that was once a Chicago Public Schools building. The center regularly hosts events, including art exhibits, music and dance performances, and even Friday night fish fries. The on-site pub, described as "homey and cozy," is a popular gathering spot, especially on weekends when live music can be enjoyed. The building's architectural details, such as the original gymnasium's blackboard-constructed bar and the classic Christensen-designed auditorium, add to the center's charm and character. Whether attending a training seminar, a political event, or simply exploring the Irish-American heritage, the Irish American Heritage Center offers a welcoming and enriching experience for all.
