About

Every family has a story. Welcome to ours!

In January of 2018 the Walsh family was honored to continue the tradition of a Celtic shop in Louisville, Kentucky. The history of a Celtic retail store in Louisville, KY began over forty years ago when Martha and Gerry Ford opened the Harp and Shamrock on Shelbyville Road in east Louisville. Martha continues to work with us in the shop greeting customers old and new.

Once the papers were signed the entire Walsh family, John and Denise plus their children Erin, Sean and Caitlyn set about remodeling, updating and restocking the shop in order to be ready for that first Saint Patrick’s Day. Thanks to the hard work of many people the shop was remodeled, restocked and ready to share with the community.

Walsh’s Celtic Center opened for business March 1, 2018.
