The Soulanges Irish Society is a community-driven, not-for-profit organization dedicated to celebrating Celtic culture and strengthening connections across the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region. Founded in 2019, the Society has quickly become a familiar presence in Hudson and beyond, bringing people together through events that blend tradition, music, and community spirit.

Best known locally as the organizers of Hudson’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Santa Parade, the Society also supports a range of cultural and community initiatives throughout the year. Their work reflects a simple but meaningful mission: to celebrate heritage while giving back.

At its core, the Soulanges Irish Society is about participation and belonging. Open to all, the organization welcomes anyone interested in taking part—whether by attending events, volunteering, or becoming a member.

Beyond celebration, the Society is deeply committed to supporting local causes. Recent efforts include fundraising toward a neonatal care unit at the new Soulanges Hospital, reflecting a broader focus on community care and mutual support.
