A cozy evening of Irish culture, featuring music, storytelling, theatre, and more!
We’ve assembled the best of Irish culture for a warm and magical variety show. An Scéal will celebrate the Irish holiday of Imbolc, the turning point when winter begins to fade into spring. The day also celebrates St Brigid, the only female patron Saint of Ireland and her pagan counterpart Bríd, the guardian of poets, blacksmiths, healers, and the hearth.
Enjoy this performance with a pint of Guinness in our favorite Irish pub, the cozy and welcoming TC O’Leary’s on NE Alberta Street!
