Kickstarter Campaign for A Celtic Cultural Exchange

Every month the band Carrigaline and members of the Seattle Irish Dance Company bring a community together to explore and embrace the Celtic heritage here in Fremont.   The Irish Ceili held at Doric Lodge #92 on the first Sunday of each month, from 4p – 8p, allows all of us to learn more about Irish dancing, music, language, food and the elders in our own area.

In April, members of Carrigaline and Seattle Irish Dancers plan a trip back to Ireland to participate in a music festival, but also to learn more about modern Ireland and the Celtic culture – and capture as much as they can in a docudrama to bring it home to us.
