DETAILS:

The Irish American Heritage Center is the city’s home of Irish music and arts and a year-round hub for Irish culture, hosting numerous programs and festivals. It houses a huge pub with a cozy fireplace known as the Fifth Province, as well as a library, ballroom, 658-seat theater, art gallery and museum. The Center is located in a former Chicago Public Schools building dating to 1927, restored and converted in the late 1980s. Enjoy preserved architectural elements from the original building, complemented by Celtic art painted throughout. The Irish American Heritage Center was made famous by Conan O'Brien, who noted that it has a bar in every room.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE:

The entire IAHC will be open to visitors. Visitors will be able to wander on their own, or join docent-lead tours. Live entertainment will be featured throughout the building, including at the Fifth Province Pub, for the duration of the event. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
