Back by popular demand! Step back in time and join one of our most celebrated cornerstone traditions: the Annual Irish Wake!

This is a vibrant, immersive experience that goes beyond a museum visit—it's a journey into the heart of 19th-century Irish and Irish American culture. This year marks a special milestone: 150 years since the passing of William Feeley, who was born and passed away right here in the historic Feeley home.

Come experience a heartfelt, memorable gathering filled with lively traditional wake games, authentic historical foods and refreshments that tell a story of their own, and the chance to participate in our Blooms of Remembrance. Because the date happens to fall on Halloween this year, we are also bringing back a touch of traditional Samhain customs in the backyard for a little extra seasonal fun.

Following the main event, we invite guests to join us for our traditional caravan out to St. Peter’s Cemetery—celebrating its 175th anniversary this year—to lay those blooms at the Irish Immigrant Marker.

Space is limited for our biggest event of the year. Get your tickets today and join us for this unforgettable tradition!
