"Dancing at the Forty Steps" - Newport Irish Heritage Month Flagship Event 🍀

"Dancing at the Forty Steps," a flagship event of the 48th Annual Newport Irish Heritage Month, will be sponsored by the Museum of Newport Irish History again this year.

The event commemorates the informal dances held here by the Irish who made Newport their home in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This family-friendly outdoor event is held, weather permitting, so let's hope for some "Luck of the Irish" on Sunday, March 30 at 3:00 PM.

-Live Traditional Irish Music
-Demonstrations of Irish set dancing, led by Donal & Mary Lehane -everyone can join in the fun!
-Special appearance by the Ancient Order of Hibernian Men Singers

IMPT: As this event is held weather-permitting, updates will be made on the event webpage and the Museum's Facebook page.
