The Gaelic-American Club, established in 1948, offers a wide range of activities in its 74 Beach Road facility, including Irish music, literature, genealogy, dance and theater.
The members-only club, which accepts people of Irish descent who have been sponsored by a club member, recently expanded its facility, which includes a kitchen, pub area, banquet room, billiards room and library.
Club activities, some of which are held off-site, include a Fairfield Gaelic Pipe & Drum Band; 25 Card Game; Monday Night Musicians, a program of how to play instruments associated with traditional Irish music; an Over 40 Soccer Club; Genealogy Group; Glee Club; Irish Literature Group; lessons in Set Dancing; luncheons and trips with the GAC Seniors; Bowling League; and Family Fun Nights.
The club awards scholarships to graduates of Fairfield high schools who pursue higher education.
