 | Irish American Heritage Month Irish American Heritage Month, celebrated annually in March, honors the rich heritage and contributions of Irish Americans to the fabric of American society. Originating from the significant influx of Irish immigrants to the United States during the 19th century, this month serves as a tribute to their resilience, culture, and enduring influence on American politics, literature, arts, and more. It's a time to reflect on the struggles faced by Irish immigrants, their triumphs, and the profound impact they've made on shaping the diverse tapestry of American identity. The month of March was chosen to coincide with St. Patrick's Day on March 17, which is both a Catholic religious holiday and a national holiday in Ireland that has evolved into a celebration of all things Irish.
