Join us for an evening filled with traditional Irish music and dance!

EducArte presents its FIRST céilí at Glen Echo Park! An Irish céilí is a social gathering filled with traditional music and dance. We will learn some basic Irish dance steps and beginner friendly group dances, accompanied by live music by some of the region’s best Irish musicians.

The called will be dancer Kate Spanos and the band will include Marty Frye (flute), David McKindley-Ward (tenor banjo), and Lexie Boatright (concertina), joined by special guest Ryan Ward (piano) from New York. We will also have a performance by the talented students of the Baltimore-Washington Academy of Irish Culture during the break.

The event will be held in the Bumper Car Pavilion at Glen Echo Park. The Bumper Car Pavilion is an outdoor, covered pavilion. Tickets are $15 per person.

This event is free and open to the public. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Note: Proof of Covid-19 vaccination is not required; face masks are encouraged but not required.

The event is a program of College Park-based arts non-profit EducArte. Special thanks to our event partner, Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture.
