Our 2nd Annual Ceiliúradh (kay-LUR-ah) (can’t pronounce it? Not to worry–it means celebration or to celebrate–and that’s just what we will do!) will bring together Chicago’s dance community, Irish American community, and a diverse community of arts enthusiasts to rally support for this important cultural arts organization. 

What: A party to celebrate the internationally-renowned Trinity Irish Dance Company as they wrap up a dynamic 2023/2024 season, and launch them towards a bright future! Mingle with the artists, celebrate their March 3rd Auditorium Theatre performance, and launch TIDC towards a sustainable future.

The afternoon event will include drinks and light cocktail party fare, live auction, paddle raise, plus a special performance by the TIDC artists, including surprise guest performers and live music provided by TIDC’s band.

A look back at our 2023 Inaugural Ceiliúradh

The Inaugural Ceiliúradh brought together a diverse community of arts enthusiasts to launch our artists towards their summer tour of Japan and rally support for this important cultural arts organization at a fun, authentic, and energizing Sunday afternoon celebration! Thank you to our dancers, musicians, board of directors, co-chairs, Emcee Harrison McEldowney, guest artists Liz Carroll, Ike Reilly, Bril Barrett, and Michelle Dorrance, and most importantly, our attendees for a beautiful celebration. We are humbled by and immensely grateful for the support extended to our artists.
