The Hudson Valley Irish Center is a cultural and community hub dedicated to celebrating and promoting Irish heritage in the Hudson Valley region. As part of the broader Hudson Valley Irish Festival organization, the center provides a range of activities that attract both locals and tourists interested in Irish culture, history, and tradition. The center hosts events such as traditional music performances, dance demonstrations, cultural lectures, and historical exhibits that enrich the area’s tourism experience. A highlight of its offerings is the annual Hudson Valley Irish Fest, a well-attended cultural celebration held along the Peekskill waterfront, drawing visitors from across the tri-state area.

In addition to festivities, the center supports educational programming including Irish language classes, genealogy assistance, and youth heritage initiatives. Its local connections and partnerships enhance its role as a destination for cultural tourism within the region. The center is anchored in community involvement, regularly collaborating with schools, cultural institutions, and civic organizations to broaden cultural appreciation.
