A special shout-out to those doing the feis planning in Wisconsin! Almost every feis they offer is back to back! Enjoy the feisin’!
P.S. It has been pointed out that I have missed a few. Please note that this list is for feis that are in the same location on the same weekend. The following list is from my readers. As readers bring them to my attention, I will include feis that, while not in the same location, are close enough to travel to on the same weekend.
- 1st weekend in March there is supposed to be back to back feis in Seattle (not currently on schedule)
- May 20 & 21, 2017: Feis Montreal (Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec) & Capital Feis (Ottawa, Ontario)
- May 27 & 28, 2017: Akron AOH Feis (Tallmadge, OH) & Cleveland Feis (Cleveland, OH)
- Early October: Pat Roche Feis & Windy City Feis, Rosemont, IL (not currently on schedule)
The Montreal Feis on May 20 and the Capital Feis in Ottawa on May 21 are a popular back to back combination. Only 1.5 hours apart (less of you drive fast!)
The Orlando Feis – May 27 & 28 hosted by Watters School of ID
Orlando is technically 2 days, just not 2 separate….
I believe it is May 27-28 (Memorial Day weekend)
Feis Down the Shore hosted by the D’Arcy School of Irish Dance will be held June 10th in Brick, NJ
Colorado Irish Festival Feis and Mile High city Feis (both held in Littleton, Colorado) were back to back last year, I believe July 9-10. Both fun events but blazing hot-99 degrees every day!
Texas Capital Championships and Music Capital Feis are back-to-back feiseanna in Austin, Texas, June 10-11, 2017.
There is a brand new back to back feis June 10/11 in Calgary Alberta called the “Western Canadian Open”….home of the Alberta belt. Champion of Champions dance off and the winner receives a monetary prize.
The American Pride Feis and Music City Feis are back-to-back on October 28/29, 2017, in Nashville, TN. Grade exams with the American Pride Feis are on October 27.
