Taras & Claddaghs Workshop

On behalf of the New Haven Gaelic Football & Hurling Club and in response to the Greater New Haven St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee announcing that the 2021 parade will not take place until March 2022, due to the pandemic, we would like to inform you of our plans going forward.  The Gaelic Club will not host our annual Parade Queen Selection this year. The 2020 selected Parade Queen Morgan Daley and 2020 selected Honor Attendant Megan Burke will continue to function in their rolls and will represent the four Irish societies and The Greater New Haven St. Patrick’s Day Parade for 2021-2022. 

Therefore, the Taras & Claddaghs Workshop will not take place in 2022. 

Join us January 26, 2020 from 12:00 noon – 3:00 pm
