Oíche Shamhna / An Irish Halloween, Sunday, Oct 20, 2024 2:00PM

 

Did you know, carving pumpkins (originally turnips!), dressing up, and other age-old Halloween traditions began in Ireland? Come celebrate the Irish roots of the holiday at IAC! This year, we'll be watching a spooky puppet show, making "turnip" jack-o’-lanterns, and casting spells through Irish music and dance with artists from Dublin trio Alfi, Darrah Carr Dance, and WonderSpark Puppets. All ages are welcome.

 

This event will take place in our Library and Studio Classrooms and the Devlin Café.

 

Alfi's performance is part of their Irish Arts Center residency including a series of masterclasses and a Café Concert Series performance.
