After-Party 8:30 PM – 12:00 AM

Since 1975, the United Irish Cultural Center and Patrick J. Dowling Library have been the cherished home of the Irish in San Francisco, a beacon of culture and heritage, and a thriving community center on the west side of San Francisco. Join us for a multi-faceted celebration of culture, community, and commitment as we honor the legacy of our founders, the strength of the community that sustains us, and a vision for the future that gleams with promise.

The dinner program portion of the 50th Anniversary Golden Gala is SOLD OUT. But good news! You can still join the festivities at the After-Party. The celebration continues from 8:30-midnight and includes specialty drinks, sentimental sweets and treats, fascinating exhibits, and live musical entertainment throughout the Center–something for everyone.

Our 50th Anniversary Golden Gala will be an unforgettable night of celebration as we reflect on fifty years and dream of the next fifty years and beyond—we are building our future, together!
