Ceilidh

A ceilidh is a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering that involves folk music, dancing, and often storytelling. Typically held in community venues or homes, ceilidhs feature lively dances like the Scottish Highland Fling or group dances such as the circle or figure dancing. Musicians often play instruments like fiddles, accordions, and flutes. Ceilidhs aim to foster a sense of community and celebration, allowing people of all ages to join in the fun. They are characterized by their informal atmosphere, where participants are encouraged to engage and enjoy the rhythm and camaraderie.
