Canadian Wake

Join us at Strokestown Park on the 16th May at 7pm for a traditional Canadian Wake, a farewell gathering once held for Irish emigrants leaving for North America.

This Canadian Wake is being held on the eve of the National Famine Way Remembrance Walk starting on the 17th of May.

The evening will feature music, storytelling and a moment of reflection as we remember those who made the journey before us.

***This is a Free Event, all are welcome to attend***

The Canadian Wake will be held in the Vaulted Stables at Strokestown Park.
