The Annual Ceiliúradh celebrating the Trinity Irish Dance Company

Thank you for celebrating with us!

Stay tuned how you can celebrate with TIDC in Spring 2025!

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.
