Walking the Rising: Irish-Americans and the 1916 Easter Rising in the Mission District

Irish-American Crossroads is pleased to announce a second round of the popular Walking the Rising walking tour!
Join San Francisco writer Elizabeth Creely on a walking tour of the Mission District’s revolutionary Irish past.
On Sunday, April 24th, 1916, seven Irishmen declared Ireland to be an independent state, free
from centuries of British rule. Two Irishmen, Daniel Harnedy and Larry De Lacey brought that struggle to the streets of
the Mission district and worked tirelessly to secure Ireland’s freedom from centuries of British rule.
Walk with Elizabeth as she uncovers the Mission District’s revolutionary past when freedom in
Ireland was envisioned in Irish-Americans homes, meeting halls, churches and places of business from Mission street
to 24th street. The walking distance is about 2 miles. It will conclude at St. Peter’s Church, 1200 Florida
Street, San Francisco. Please wear comfortable walking shoes.

The tour is limited to 25 people.
Sign up soon! This is a popular tour, which sells out quickly.
