Through the generations the link between Ireland and Irish Americans has strengthened. On March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, perhaps the most Irish day of the calendar year, a virtual celebration of the range and depth of Irish culture in America will take place – and Scituate is a prominent feature.
“Shades of Green: A St. Patrick’s Day Celebration of Irish America,” is a 90-minute program arranged in partnership with Irish cultural centers and festivals throughout the United States. The celebration is hosted by Ireland’s Ambassador in Washington, Daniel Mulhall, and will include greetings from various sites across the country, including Scituate. Renowned historian Catherine Shannon, who has been a guest speaker on several occasions in town, will offer a brief commentary from the Easter Rising Memorial Monument at Scituate Harbor.
