A cèilidh is a traditional Scottish social gathering. In its most basic form, it simply means a social visit. In contemporary usage, it usually involves playing Gaelic folk music and dancing, either at a house party or a larger concert at a social hall or other community gathering place. Join us for our 2018 fundraising Cèilidh!
Tickets are $15 (plus Eventbrite fee) in advance or $20 at the door. Ticket price includes your admission. There will be a cash bar and availability of food to order off a menu. You can print your ticket but we will also have a list at the door of who purchased in advance.
Children 10 and under are $10 (pay at the door). Children under 3 years are free.
