Consulate General of Ireland, Austin

The Consulate was delighted to attend the Missouri River Irish Fest joining members of the Irish community and friends of Ireland for a fantastic celebration of Irish culture, heritage, and community.

The festival brought together people of all ages to enjoy Irish music, dance, storytelling, and traditions highlighting the vibrant connections between Ireland and Missouri through the sister-city partnership between St. Charles and Inishowen, Co. Donegal.

Members of An Garda Síochána (police officers) from the Inishowen Peninsula attended the festival, their participation reflecting the enduring friendship between the two communities.

Last week, The Consulate was pleased to participate in the Trail of Tears Memorial Walk at the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, commemorating the strength, resilience, and enduring spirit of the Chahta people.

This annual commemoration in Tuskahoma, took place the same weekend as Ireland’s National Famine Commemoration. For the Consulate it was an opportunity to both remember the remarkable gesture of the Choctaw Nation to the Irish people during the Famine, as well as reflect on the context from which that gift was made.

Thank you to Chief Batton and the Choctaw Nation for including us in this meaningful day of reflection and remembrance.

Wishing the very best of luck to all the Irish school teams traveling to St. Louis, Missouri this weekend to compete in the Competition.

It is a tremendous achievement to represent Ireland on the global stage, and these students have demonstrated exceptional dedication, creativity, and teamwork to reach this point.

Their participation reflects Ireland’s growing strength in STEM education and our continued commitment to fostering innovation and future-ready skills among young people.

Safe travels and best of luck 🍀
