We're excited to start the weekend with a ceili and a few tunes!  Join us for our 2025 welcome ceili from 7-10pm called by Megan Downes with music provided by Billy McComiskey, Laura Byrne, Donna Long, Joanna Clare, and YOU! Band is pick-up and musicians are welcome to sit and play.  No experience necessary, dances will be taught.

?There will be a session to follow, and all musicians present are invited to sit and play a few tunes at Mobtown Ballroom.  Some of our Trad Fest instructors will be present, so this is a great time to meet them and get a tune.  Weekend participants can pick up their packets during the dance or at the session.
