The Social Irish is a group of Boston area couples and singles who meet, socialize and explore Irish culture through outings of contemporary Irish cultural focus, social interaction and laughter. Events activities include classic and contemporary art and culture and encourage those who take an interest in socializing, networking and the Irish cultural goals of Ireland and Boston Irish.

Events the Social Irish support include Irish and Celtic music events, pub nights, theatre, lectures, Irish and Celtic art exhibits and other Boston area social events all hosted and organized by our partner organizations all over the city of Boston.

The Social Irish is a part of of the Eire Society of Boston, Boston's oldest Irish cultural institution. Serving as the Eire Society's youth and social committee, the Social Irish is a distinct entity that promotes contemporary events and programs that serve our large audience of young professional singles and couples. As our group continues to grow, we continually welcome new dynamic young professionals (of Irish heritage or not) who want to explore and understand Irish culture through events in the downtown Boston area.

The Social Irish was appointed by the Eire Society President, William H. Pear, on March 22, 2005 with overwhelming support from the entire Board of Directors. This group of dynamic individuals was formed to serve the Eire Society and the Irish community and to uphold the rich traditions and the legacy that the Eire Society has maintained for over the last 70 years.
