The Irish in Buffalo, NY
Buffalo’s Irish community has deep roots, dating back to 19th-century immigrants who worked on the Erie Canal, railroads, and in the city’s industries. Today, Irish pride thrives in neighborhoods and through cultural organizations that keep music, dance, and Gaelic sports alive. The Banshee Irish Pub on Franklin Street is a lively hub for food, music, and community gatherings. Each March, the Buffalo St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Delaware Avenue draws thousands, celebrating Irish heritage in one of New York’s most spirited parades.
