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.

Scituate town committees are planning a new tourism trail that will lead visitors to sites that highlight Irish heritage on the South Shore. In addition to preserving local knowledge, planners expect the trail will prove a boon to the regionâs tourism industry.
Expected to be online this summer, the South Shore Irish Heritage Trail will link destinations in nine shoreline towns, each one offering historical insights into the presence of an Irish community and its contributions to the region.
News of the celebrations was broadcast all over the world by members of Furness Amateur Radio Society.

Massachusetts is the most Irish state in the country, and the South Shore is the most Irish area in the country, said Brenda O’Connor, a member of the Scituate/West Cork Sister City Committee and a resident of Scituate, long believed to be the most Irish town in the country.
“If anyone needs an Irish Heritage Trail it is us, and that is what we’re trying to do,” she said during a virtual meeting with members of the Sister City Committee and the South Shore Irish Heritage Trail Committee.
The focus of the meeting was to initiate a conversation about bringing an Irish Heritage Trail to the South Shore, something that has been in discussion for some time.
