Concerts & Events

Irish Christmas in America returns for its 21st season with a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of Ireland's Christmas traditions. The production brings together exceptional music, song, dance and storytelling in a performance filled with warmth, humor and festive energy.

Produced by Sligo fiddler Oisín Mac Diarmada, the 2026 company features Laura Jo on vocals and guitar; Gráinne Hambly on Irish harp and concertina; Caoimhín Ó Fearghaíl on uilleann pipes and flute; Samantha Harvey on piano and dance; and Jack Warnock on guitar and vocals. Evocative photographic images frame the performance, offering audiences a memorable glimpse into the history and spirit of an Irish Christmas.

First conceived in 2005, Irish Christmas in America was created to share traditional - and often little-known - Irish customs with audiences in the United States. Over two decades, the show has welcomed a distinguished roster of guest vocalists and established itself as a sparkling tradition on the holiday calendar.

“One of the most heartfelt themes of Irish Christmas is emigration,” says Mac Diarmada. “Music was a way that people stayed close to home.”
