We are grateful to Ballet Mississippi and its director David Keary, for years of support and encouragement.

Turn on to Bounds Street (one of the great local bands that has "grown up" with JID) for Celtic Music with a Groove!

The Celtic Heritage Society sponsors periodic events throughout the year, as well as CelticFest Mississippi, an annual festival that’s always the weekend after Labor Day. It’s a great showcase for all the best in regional Celtic music, dance and heritage, plus some terrific headliners every year – don’t miss it!

Fenian’s Irish Pub is our home-away-from-home and cosponsor of the Mostly Monthly Céilí Series – thanks to all the great folks at Fenian’s for continuing to support live traditional Irish music and dancing in Mississippi

Greann and Legacy are two versions of a terrific band that performs across the country and, lucky for us, frequently right here at home

International Irish Setdancers are Yutaka Usui and Doriane Rencker, who will teach you all about set dancing, the bodhrán, or the button accordion

Check out The Irish Shoppe in Ridgeland, Mississippi for gifts and luxury imports including crystal, linens, jewelry, gourmet foods, and more

Monroe, Louisiana is home to our friends at the Northeast Louisiana Celtic Festival (at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo the first weekend in October) and Enoch’s Irish Pub

The North Texas Irish Festival is a JID favorite for performances and general good times – in 2007, the festival attracted more than 45,000 people over the course of a fun-filled weekend.

Spirits of the House is another of our friendly local bands, and a favorite for traditional music and song.

Thanks also to our friends Lucian Dixon, Robert Gray, and Steve Farmer for the terrific photos used on our site.
