Irish Community in Malawi

There is a small but vibrant Irish community in Malawi, based mostly in Lilongwe and Blantyre. The highlight of the year for the community is the celebration of St Patrick’s Day - the Irish society’s celebrations in Lilongwe are thought to the biggest of their kind in the country! Hundreds of people – Malawians, Irish and beyond attend a concert and Céilí featuring Irish culture, food and drink.
