The Baltimore Irish Music Festival is being kicked off by a a welcome Ceili!
From your hosts: “We're excited to start the weekend with a ceili and a few tunes! Join us for our 2026 welcome ceili from 7-10pm called by Megan Downes with music provided by Billy McComiskey and Jeannette Manseau (box); Jessica Zito, Kate Knudsvig, and Keira Noonan (fiddle); Seamus Noonan (flute); Matt Mulqueen (piano); Simon Lace (drums) 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.
The bar will be open!
Tickets: $20 for single tickets. Included in the weekend pass.
