The Céilí of the Valley Society sponsors the Second Friday Céilí– a live music and dance event for all ages held on the second Friday of each month. A variety of Irish musicians and dance callers rotate throughout the Céilí season, exposing the community to a wide selection of traditional Irish musical instruments and sounds as well as Céilí social and set dances.
Some of the most popular dances include: Walls of Limerick, Siege of Ennis, Haymakers Jig, Harvest Time Jig, Clare Lancers, Caledonian and more!
Doors open at 7. Live music begins at 8 and goes until 11 PM.
Around 7:15 or 7:30 PM we offer a free basic lesson, with the cost of admission. The dances are “walked” through first then “called” as they are learned, and as the night progresses. Basic steps are taught at the beginning of the Céilí, so don’t be intimidated if you have never Céilí danced before!
Admission to the Céilí is $10 per person
All ages welcome! Great family event!
Our Second Friday Céilí takes place at the
