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!
