Living Youghal had the privilege of hosting the Queen of the Detroit United Irish Society in the iconic Clock Gate Tower back in June!

Ainsley Olivia was crowned Queen for 2026. Cork County Council visit Detroit during the St. Patrick's Day Festival to strengthen and expand cultural, economic and historical ties between Cork County and Detroit. Since the first delegation visit in 2016 and the signing of the friendship agreement in 2019 with Mayor Mary Linehen Foley, these visits have provided valuable opportunities to leverage historical links while firming new relationships in business, tourism and international collaboration.

Living Youghal would like to say thank you to the Queen of Detroit and her ladies in waiting for their visit to the Clock Tower!
