Celebrate St. Patrick's Day at Allaire! Guided Tours of the Historic Village. Irish music, cooking, folklore, history, and MORE!

Take a 90 minute guided tour of the Historic Village at Allaire to experience the history and culture of Ireland. A period dressed interpreter will escort you to all of our historic buildings and trade shops where villagers are waiting to welcome you and demonstrate traditional Irish cooking, folklore and music!

Listen to the Ballycastle Band perform a variety of traditional Irish songs in our historic Chapel, smell the delicious Irish meals and treats prepared by our talented hearth cooks, learn about the history of the holiday and much more! Purchase your tickets early before they sell out!

James P. Allaire’s Howell Works of 1836 consisted of workers from many ethnic backgrounds, including people from Ireland who likely made up the majority of the population.

Migrating down to New Jersey from New York, the Irish workers at the Howell Iron Works primarily served as molders for the furnace operation, but also were blacksmiths, farmers, and other skilled furnace workers. They brought with them their customs and traditions as well as their religion, which was, in some cases, Catholic.

Tickets are $15 per person, and must be purchased in ADVANCE.

Food service provided by the Allaire Village Bakery and Pilsen Gourmet's Food Truck. Offering delicious Irish treats and cuisine!

Respectfully, the tour is not recommended for children 5 and under. Strollers are not permitted inside the historic buildings.
