Welcome to the home page of the Irish American Club of Kalamazoo!
The Irish American Club of Kalamazoo is a non-profit 501 [c] [3] organization that is the proud sponsor of the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Kalamazoo and the annual Kalamazoo Irish Festival.
Downtown Kalamazoo – St. Patrick’s Day Parade
On Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 11:00 am our annual parade will step off down the Kalamazoo Mall. Please come and join us.
Hooley for Healing – Come join us after the parade! From noon til 4:00 at Rugger’s Up and Under 711 W. Michigan Ave.
A Hooley is an Irish Party. We are having a Hooley and fund raiser for 2 local women suffering with cancer and their related costs. On Saturday, March 11 after the parade, please join us for a St. Patrick’s Day Hooley. Ruggers is opening early, just for us. We will have a special menu and drinks, music from Bog Road, step dancers, games and a silent auction. This is a family friendly event and donations will be gratefully accepted at the door.
NOTICE – Our next club meeting and program is scheduled to take place Monday, March 6th, at the Traveler’s Cafe & Pub, 5225 Portage Rd., Portage, MI. Starting in October last year, our monthly meeting night has been changed from the 3rd Monday of each month to the 1st Monday of the month. This is due to staffing shortages at the restaurant, and with this change our club will have exclusive use of the restaurant on these Monday nights.
NOTICE – Our April meeting night has been changed to the 2nd Monday, so this month’s meeting will be held on Monday, April 10th.
This is the former Theo & Stacy’s. New owners, new menu, new decor, same meeting room. Come join us and check it out. Traveler’s is opening the restaurant just for us, so there will be plenty of space to spread out and “social distance”. Dinner and social hour begins at 6:00 P.M, meeting at 7:00, program at 7:30.
T SHIRTS – We have some 20th anniversary special edition T shirts left over from the festival for sale for $20.00. If you are interested, please contact us and we’ll make arrangements to get 1 to you.
