Irish Heritage Festival
Of Orange County
The Festival Committee is dedicated to leaving a legacy for future generations.
Over 40 million Americans claim some Irish ancestry.
We want to remember the richness of that culture and the courage of those
who built and loved America. We honor our ancestors who had a profound influence on the future of both the country they left and the one they came to love.
The Irish Heritage Festival Committee exists to foster this legacy by developing programs and events in the community. We work with the Irish Associations in the area to provide opportunities to promote Irish culture.
