The Irish Open Door

Description

The Irish Open Door is a celebration of Windsor Irish heritage, history and culture involving song, dance, and storytelling. Throughout the night there will be Irish music from Will Gorry and the Dogs or Whoever, as well as from Newleaf; Irish step dancing from the Scoil Rince Luimni dancers, and an instructional round of Irish set dancing from the Irish American Home Society Dancers. Additionally, Irish Mythology Players will be telling a story about Irish legends and heroes centered on the perspective of Finn McCool (Fionn mac Cumhaill).

The cost of admission for the event is $15 in advance and $20 at the door. All proceeds go to the Windsor Jaycees’ mission of raising scholarship money for local high school students preparing to go to college. There will be an additional raffle by the Windsor Education Foundation to raise funds for grants to local educators.

As the tradition goes, the “Irish Open Door” is a time when the front and back doors of a house are opened to allow old spirits of the previous year out, and the spirits of the new year in. For us, the door is always open, and we’ve got new friends to make. So, stop on by and help support both the Windsor Education Foundation, and the Jaycees to raise money for education and scholarships.
