Irish in America

Event Date:

Wednesday, March 6, 2024 - 6:30pm

The Irish in America Mary King and friends will return to the Library to present their popular "Irish in America" program on Wednesday, March 6th at 6:30 pm.

Irish immigrants captured the heart of the nation with their mix of Irish jigs, ballads, folk songs, storytelling, and humor. Their music was influenced by their travels throughout New England, the Midwest, Appalachia, and the West. Celtic traditions were infused with new styles and instruments creating a new voice to their culture, along with the old.

Get your green on, warm up your voice, and enjoy the warmth, spirit, and hilarity. Mary King often teaches a beginner's Irish jig before the start of the program.

All ages are welcome. There is no charge to attend this program but registration is requested.

To register, please sign up at the upstairs circulation desk, call 508-634-2209, or
