Feis Dates 2008/09

An Irish dance competition is called a Feis ("fesh"), an Irish-Gaelic term for festival, with the plural being Feiseanna ("fesh-ah-na"). A typical Feis runs over several days and provides competitions in group and solo dancing over a wide range of age and ability levels, live music, dance vendors, and hundreds of very excited competitors.
