The Portland Céilí Society holds a regular monthly Céilí dance at the PPAA, 618 SE Alder Street (6th and Alder across from the Melody Ballroom) on the third Friday of every month, September through May. Céilí is the Irish word for an even of music, dance, song, drink and craic (fun/enjoyment/good times).
The evening starts with a lesson at 8pm and dancing at 9pm. The dances are taught and called, and no experience or partner is needed. There is always live music each month from some of the great Irish musicians here in the Northwest.
