The Irish Cultural Center of Western New England holds its 24th annual Lá na Gaeilge (Irish Language Day) on Saturday, May 3, 2025. The event will take place in Berchmans Hall at Elms College in Chicopee, MA. It is an opportunity for those with an interest in this ancient language, which is now enjoying a resurgence, to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of this vital component of Irish culture.
Lá na Gaeilge is a unique opportunity for everyone to take part in Irish language learning. The program consists of two classes available at three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. As well as instructional classes, Lá na Gaeilge includes a choice of workshop (tin whistle, hurling, or traditional Irish font), raffle, and a lecture on the ‘Women of the Gaelic Revival’ given by Édith de Faoite, Elms FLTA. The event concludes with music session. More information and schedule of the day >
