Welcome and Céad Míle Fáilte!
Our Society is dedicated to celebrating and preserving the rich heritage of Ireland while honoring the profound contributions of Irish immigrants and Irish Americans to the fabric of American society.
Based at the Jersey Shore - also known as the Irish Riviera - members are primarily from Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Most events are held at the Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh clubhouse in Belmar.
Connect with others who share your passion, enjoy lively cultural gatherings as we ensure the story of the Irish American experience continues to thrive at the Shore.
