M.J. Quill Festival Grounds, East Durham , N.Y.

Planning is well underway for another sensational week in the historic Irish American hamlet of East Durham for the 15th Annual Catskills Irish Arts Week hosted by the M.J. Quill Irish Cultural and Sports Centre.  We have assembled another terrific faculty of teachers and entertainers who will continue to make the CIAW the place to be for serious fans of Irish traditional music and dance.  You’ll see many familiar names on the faculty page and some first-time visitors to the Catskills as well as the legend continues to grow. 

      Feel free to send any questions to irishartsweek@gmail.com or call 1-800-434-3378 or 518-634-2286.   
This week only gets better with age as we uphold the very vibrant New York tradition of keeping the music and dance alive and well in the Catskill Mountains . Thanks for your interest in the Catskills Irish Arts Week
