In 2023, Governor Wes Moore officially designated March as Irish-American Heritage Month, recognizing the substantial impact that Irish Americans have had on the United States. This month-long observance honors the achievements and historical legacy of Irish Americans, as well as the lasting friendship between both Ireland and the United States.
Since the nation's inception, Irish immigrants have arrived via the Port of Baltimore in pursuit of opportunities. Their invaluable contributions have bolstered the economy, enriched the arts, and profoundly influenced various aspects of American society.
