Éigse, A Musical Gaela 2026

The Center for Irish Music invites you to dress up in your finest, bring your friends, and join us to raise funds for Minnesota's only traditional Irish music school.

Éigse [eg-shuh] is an Irish word used for festivals celebrating traditional Irish arts and culture. It is in this spirit that we gather to raise funds for The Center for Irish Music, Minnesota's only traditional Irish music school, dedicated to handing down the tradition.

In-person guests will enjoy a cocktail reception with a full service bar, delicious heavy appetizers, and a stellar traditional Irish music concert by our fabulous instructors. In addition, there will be a fun photo backdrop, exquisite raffle prizes, mystery boxes, and a few coveted live auction items.

Virtual guests will have access to the silent auction, Fund a Need proceedings, and a high-quality livestream of the program starting at 7:00pm.

Our Musical Gaela will be held at the St. Paul Event Center, located in the heart of the downtown cultural district near the Ordway and Landmark Center.

Help us Play It Forward as we launch our third decade of handing down the tradition of Irish music.
