Celebrate all things Irish

On Sunday March 8, 2020 from 6:30-9:00 pm the Rivertown String Band will play at the Lincoln Irish Dancers Annual Community Ceili. The dances will be called by Susan Ritta.

The Annual Ceili will be held at St. Patrick’s Church 6111 Morrill Avenue in Havelock. A raffle, refreshment and dance demo will take place. Some of the raffle items are below. The beverages require the person to be of legal age of 21 or older.

To know more about the Rivertown String Band, see http://www.rivertownstringband.com/ They are a traditional acoustic folk music band from Omaha, Nebraska.

Ceili, in the Irish language, simply means gathering or party – when villagers would get together in a home or pub to play music and dance. In Ireland they will take an intermission with tea and scones.  We serve an assortment of baked goods such as cookies, soda bread, brownies, cupcakes, etc.

We have been told by past dance callers who were from Ireland  that our Ceili dance reminds them of the authentic Ceili’s that they attended when they were growing up.  We are proud to carry on the tradition of Ireland’s public social dance, the Ceili to celebrate the St. Patrick’s Day season.

May your troubles be less, And your blessings be more. And nothing but happiness come through your door.
