The Celtic Cultural Center of Madison presents the annual Irish Language Weekend. This weekend brings together Irish speakers of all levels, from folks who have never heard the language to native speakers. This event is a fun and casual way to get introduced to a very beautiful language, and one that may even have been spoken by your grandparents. In addition to language classes, the weekend will entertain you with music, dancing, and meeting new friends.
This gathering will take place at the Lowell Center on the UW-Madison campus. If you are planning on lodging, it is important that you make your room reservation early. It's not easy to find a room in Madison during football season!
To make a room reservation, please contact the Lowell Center directly by using the "book a room online" link there. Then you will need to click on the option for "Conference or Event Block Reservations". The group number is IRISH.
