Image for Céilí (Irish social dance) with the Notre Dame Céilí Band

In celebration of our temporary exhibition Through the Lens of Father Francis Browne, S.J.: Photographic Adventures of an Irish Priest, join the Notre Dame Céilí Band for a lively evening of traditional Irish music and social dance outside on the Hiler Family Terrace.

Founded in 2021, the Céilí Band seeks to deepen student engagement and understanding of Irish folk culture through traditional Irish music repertoire and social dance. The Band made up of 30+ musicians and dancers of various levels of experience, from All-Ireland competitors to novice whistle players.

All dances will be called and taught, and no previous experience is required! Live music will be provided by the Céilí Band, and the evening will include performances by the Tin Whistle Class, The Sean-nós Dancing Class, the Social Dancing Class and the Notre Dame/St. Mary's Irish Dance Club.

Begin your evening early at the Museum with an opportunity to view photographs by Fr. Browne! Join our Curator of Photographs, David Acton, for a brief exhibition tour immediately before the céilí from 6:30–7:00 p.m. Learn more here.
