In addition to the competition, there's always time for rince, ceol agus craic at the North American Irish Dance Championships.

Don’t let the night end when the competitions are over.  Come join us in the Delta A Lobby for your evening’s entertainment after Awards are finished.  There will be food for sale towards the start of the evening and a bar for drinks and sodas all evening.   Anticipated start time each evening will be 7 pm. 

Friday:  Sessiún/ Sing-Song

Back by popular demand from last year, but at no cost.  That’s right FREE, as are all our evening gatherings this week.  If you’re a musician, bring your instrument; if you’re a singer, get your party piece practiced and get set to step up to the microphone; otherwise be ready to join along in the chorus and clap your hands as our fantastic musicians lead the way, as in days of yore.

Saturday:  4th of July

Enjoy the fireworks or relax by the pool!

Sunday:  Ceili

Once again our wonderful, hard working musicians will be providing the sound, this time to a called céilí in the Delta A Lobby.  You don’t need to be a champion competitor to get up and dance the Siege of Ennis, Stack of Barley or an old time waltz.  If you don’t know the dances, we’ll have someone there to tell you what to do. So come one and all and jump in the fun.

Monday: Country & Western Night

We are in the country music capital, for goodness sake!  We’ve got a DJ to spin all your country favorites and to get you lined up for some Country Line Dancing.  Learn all your boot-scooting moves and have some foot-stomping fun.
