Connecting Irish, Irish Americans and friends of Ireland across Arizona.
Irish Network Arizona is a business, cultural, and social network where members can connect locally, across the state, and with sister networks across the country.
Since its establishment in 1999, the Irish Cultural Center has served as a vital cultural institution for Phoenix, preserving and celebrating Irish heritage while welcoming people from all walks of life. As a division of the Irish Cultural Learning Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, the center operates through a public-private partnership with the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department and receives support from the Irish government's Emigrant Support Programme. The community at the Irish Cultural Center of Phoenix is remarkably inclusive—census data shows that approximately 10% of Arizona residents have Irish relatives in their family tree, with another 12% having Celtic roots, yet the center welcomes anyone with interest in Irish culture regardless of background or heritage. Operating alongside the McClelland Library since 2012, the organization has become a gathering place where families, genealogy enthusiasts, cultural learners, and tradition-keepers connect with one another. The center's commitment extends beyond programming to genuine community building, offering volunteer opportunities, membership benefits, and support services including emigrant assistance. By bringing Irish heritage to life through dynamic education, vibrant events, and cherished traditions, the Irish Cultural Center invites all people to engage with Celtic culture and carry its spirit forward, creating a welcoming space where Phoenix's diverse population can celebrate, learn, and build meaningful connections rooted in shared cultural appreciation.
