UW-River Falls to host Irish Ceílí Dance Feb. 27

Feb. 13, 2026 – The University of Wisconsin-River Falls will present an Irish Ceílí Dance on Feb. 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Riverview Ballroom in the University Center, 501 Wild Rose Ave., River Falls. The event is free and open to the public.

A ceílí is an Irish social gathering involving dancing and folk music. The Irish Ceílí Dance at UWRF will begin with Irish dance lessons taught by an instructor, followed by music and dancing with a live band. Attendees can enjoy harvest festival-inspired foods, hot chocolate and non-alcoholic Irish cream.

"We are excited to bring the Irish Ceílí Dance back in collaboration with the Office of International Education," said Sylvia Kass, student events and activities manager. "This will be a great chance to dance, enjoy live Irish music and learn about study abroad opportunities."
