Spokane-Limerick Sister City Society

Celebrating a transatlantic friendship rooted in culture, community, and connection.

Fáilte - Welcome!

The Spokane Limerick Sister City Society exists to build meaningful, people-to-people connections between Spokane, Washington and Limerick, Ireland.

Since 1990, we’ve fostered international friendship through cultural exchange, educational partnerships, and unforgettable shared experiences. Whether it’s a student-led theater production, a trade delegation, or a St. Patrick’s Day celebration, we’re here to strengthen the ties between our two cities and have a great time doing it.

With a history dating back to the 12th century and a modern outlook shaped by global exchange, it’s the perfect partner for Spokane.

When Erin first rose from the dark swelling flood
God bless’d the green Island, and saw it was good;
The em’rald of Europe it sparkled and shone–
In the ring of the world the most precious stone.

-William Drennan Erin, 1754
