Traditional Firefighters’ Irish Night

Irish Night was a tradition of the Larchmont Fire Department’s Engine Company for almost a century. Celebrating the Irish heritage of many of Larchmont’s firefighters, members and their families and friends enjoyed a traditional St. Patrick’s day meal of corned-beef and cabbage repast, supplemented by Irish soda bread and a variety of beverages and desserts. The Larchmont Historical Fire Company is restoring this annual tradition, this year dedicating the event to the memory of firefighters during World War II in Larchmont and across the seas.

Everyone is welcome to join our celebration, especially present and former members of fire companies in Larchmont and our surrounding communities, and military veterans who can help us all to remember and honor those who served and died in our wars.

Come see a Then and Now slide show  of Larchmont Business District photos from the 1930s, 40s and 50s alongside the 2014 views of the same locations. And, if you grew up here or have lived here awhile, we would love to have you share with everyone your comments and memories of the places that were the heart of our hometown!

Free and open to the public
