🇮🇪 🇺🇸 Join us in Golden Gate Park this Sunday, September 20th, for the 2026 Robert Emmet Commemoration.

San Francisco’s Irish and Irish-American community will gather at the Bandstand at noon before marching together to the Robert Emmet statue — a piece of Irish history in the heart of San Francisco.

Come out for an afternoon of Irish history, music, culture and community, with Daire Lyne delivering Emmet’s Speech from the Dock and appearances by the Pearse & Connolly Fife & Drum Band and Irish Pipers Band of SF.

☘️ All are welcome — please share and help us spread the word!

☘️Today marks exactly halfway to St. Patrick’s Day, but it’s also an extra special day in our community—International Irish Dance Day!

While March 17th is one of our biggest celebrations, the real magic of preserving our heritage happens every single day right here at the UICC through our incredible year-round cultural programs:

📖 The Dowling Library: Keeping our history, genealogy, and stories alive for future generations.

☀️ Irish Camp: Immersing our youth in culture, language, and creativity all summer long.

🎶 Youth Music Program: Teaching traditional instruments and keeping the classic tunes alive with our youngest musicians.

👞 Keepers of the Steps: Honoring and archiving the vibrant history of Irish dance in the Bay Area from the Gold Rush to today!

From the library archives to the dance floor, Irish culture isn’t just a one-day event—it’s our passion all year long. Visit www.irishcentersf.org for all the info!
