The Second Annual Heroes of Irish America Awards will take place in the Buffalo Convention Center, Buffalo, NY on Friday, May 16th, 2025 from 5:30pm-10pm — and it promises to be another spectacular night in the Irish calendar.
We invite you to join the Irish Echo as we raise a glass in Western New York to the unsung heroes of Irish America - ordinary folks, doing extraordinary work to build stronger communities. Yes, we want you to nominate the first responders, police officers, healthcare workers and others in the front lines but we know there are everyday heroes in every walk of life and we want you to submit their names too.
In April 2023, the Irish Echo brought its Irish Arts & Culture Awards to Buffalo - and was given the green carpet treatment by its ebullient Irish American community which, with its tireless endeavor and boundless energy, has claimed for itself the title of Capital of Irish America.
Friday, May 16th at 2:30pm: Business Roundtable on Ireland-U.S. Economic Relationship
Saturday, May 17th at 11am: Guided bus tour of Irish Buffalo with Historian and Author of ‘Emerald Thread’ and 'Against the Grain', Tim Bohen. To include An Gorta Mór Monument, First Ward and Fenian Monument.
