The Irish Open Door

The Irish Open Door is a celebration of Windsor Irish heritage, history and culture involving song, dance, and storytelling!

It’s more than just celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, it’s about real people and real history.

The celebration begins March 6th at 7:45pm at the Birdcage, 25 Central St., Windsor, Conn.

Throughout the night there will be:
- Music from Will Gory and the Dogs or Whoever
- As well as music from New Leaf Irish Band
- Irish step dancing from the Scoil Rince Luimni dancers
- An instructional round of Irish set dancing from the Irish American Home Society Dancers
- A theatrical storytelling about Irish legends and heroes centered on the perspective of Finn McCool (Fionn mac Cumhaill) and the Giant's Causeway
- A Raffle sponsored by the Windsor Education Foundation

Food will be available for purchase from Fat City Kid, and beer brewed specially by Luppoleto Brewing.

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.

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.
