The Cincinnati Irish Heritage Center has everything you need for a successful St. Patrick’s Day celebration. It is the Cincinnati home for everything Irish and has won praise and great support from Ireland.
The Center will open on both St Patrick’s Parade Day, Saturday March 16th, and on St. Patrick’s Day itself, Sunday March 17th, at 12 noon.

There is free parking behind the building, which is on the corner of Eastern and Tennyson Avenues. A bus stop is directly across the street on Eastern.
This celebration is held within a 44,000 square foot building which was the former McKinley School, and has been lovingly restored as the Irish Heritage Center - now known and operating as a thriving Community Arts Center in Columbia Tusculum.
