Below, you'll find descriptions of our upcoming events. For dates and times, see our calendar.
Rub elbows with fellow Irish folk at our regular social gathering, the KIS Second Saturday.
Join us for our regular eat-&-greet at 3131 Morris Ave. from 3:00 - 5:00 on the second Saturday of every month. We'll have traditional Irish tea, trad & sean-nós music, and good conversation & friendship. Bring a finger food to share. If you haven't been to a KIS event yet, or if you don't know many people and would like to get connected, this is a great way to get started and introduce yourself. We're looking forward to seeing you again. Céad míle fáilte! 100,000 welcomes!

Season's Greetings!
Every year, the Knoxville Irish Society holds a Yuletide get-together to celebrate a favourite holiday. All of us with KIS would love to see you and your family at our Christmas party at Calhoun's in Bearden on Monday, December 17 at 6:00. We'll enjoy fellowship, learn a few facts about Christmas in Ireland, and play a game of dirty Santa. Please bring a gift under $7.00 for the game (if you'd like to bring something hand-made, then there's no price limit!).
Nollaig shona daoibh! Merry Christmas!

Beginner Irish ClassTuition: FREE, although donations to Cumann Gaelach Knoxville (Knoxville Irish Society) are greatly appreciated.
Textbook: The book and accompanying audio files are available free of charge. We have permission from the author to use his work without charge for this purpose. You can download it to a device and bring that to class, or print it out and bring a hard copy. I like to 3-hole-punch the book and put it into a 3-ring binder with dividers. Classes are held from 2-4pm on Saturdays at the City of Knoxville's Operations Center, 3131 Morris Ave. Sign up for Irish class emails, check our Facebook page, or contact Chris for more details. |
Iománaíocht - HurlingThe ancient Irish sport called the fastest sport on grass.
Knoxville is blessed to have a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club, that plays the ancient Gaelic sport called “iománaíocht” or “hurling” - Knoxville GAC. If you're unfamiliar with it, Google and YouTube can tell you all about it. Newcomers are welcome to the club. You can play or just watch what all the craic (good times) is about. Visit their Facebook page. New players need not worry about equipment. |
