Tacoma Ceili: Live Irish Music & Dance

Listen, dance, relax, rejuvenate with live Irish music and dance. Tacoma Ceili (pronounced kay-lee) is high energy and low key: You can dance or just relax (or take turns on that!). Kathleen O’Grady Graham teaches you the steps–and then leads you through each dance with an emphasis on fun rather than perfection. Her husband, Mike Graham, is leading our music this month!

Saturday,  August 8, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church at 901 N. J St. All ages and abilities are welcome, with an option for a dance lesson from 7:00–7:30 PM. 

What: A ceili is a traditional Irish social gathering with live music and called dances. 

When: Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Lesson is 7:00-7:30. Music and dancing are 7:30-10:00.
