Welcome to the Tucson Irish Community, devoted to continuing our Irish traditions in a spirit of cooperation and good will. We will continue to keep you current on news and events related to the local Irish and Scottish community. We are including a series of profiles of members of our local Irish community. Let us know whose profile you would like to read and if that be you, give us your fascinating information! We also have a new section for reviews. And our guestbook is now active. Please write the webmasters with what content you would like to see. This is a monitored guestbook to eliminate spam comments, so there is a delay between your post and it appearing.
Because of a glitch in our events software, the details for May 5th Celtic Woman concert, including a discount code, can be found at https://www.tucsonirishcommunity.com/index.php?s=Events.
The 2018 St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival pictures are here. There were no judges or awards for parade winners that year. Some parade entries (roughly entries 1490 to 1602)were not photographed due to technical difficulties. Pictures may be downloaded free for non-commercial use (tip: be sure to download the picture, not the thumbnail). If you post a picture on your personal or group web site, the photo credit is: copyright 2018, Aine Ni Haralambie, www.tucsonirishcommunity.com. Use key words to search pictures (use fewer words—the search looks only for an exact match). If we missed a caption or got it wrong, please email Aine@TucsonIrishCommunity.com to let us know. We have pictures starting with the 2000 parade and festival. When our server crashed, we lost the 2006 and 2007 albums; I have uploaded the 2007 pictures, but I will not be able to title or key word them. The 2006 pictures aren’t online. The 2009 pictures probably don’t have titles. The 2008 pictures are up with titles. After our webmaster died, the albums resorted themselves, so are no longer in the correct chronological order. All photos were taken with high resolution, but posted with lower resolution. Let us know if you want a high resolution digital copy of a picture. Note that because of scheduling conflicts, we were unable to be there to photograph the parade and festival in 2019, so no pictures are available for 2019. The 2020 and 2021 St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are back for 2024, taking place on St. Patrick’s Day!

We lost all of our update subscribers in an update. We must now create a new list through MailChimp. So everyone will need to sign up again at the link above. Sorry for the inconvenience! Also, there is a glitch in our events calendar which defaults most events to the date, time, and place for a 2/23/2016 Chieftains Concert. So please read the text for the event, especially if it lists a 2016 date. We will put the correct date in the event title if the generated date is wrong
Old Blind Dogs Concert at Berger Center - 04/20/2024
Also see our Events Calendar.
