The Cleveland Feis

What an incredible Sunday of competition at The Cleveland Feis!

Thank you to all of the dancers, families, teachers, adjudicators, musicians, vendors, and supporters who filled the day with energy, talent, tradition, and community. It was a beautiful celebration of Irish heritage in America, and a reminder of how special it is to see generations come together through music, dance, friendship, and culture.

A very special thank you goes to our volunteers. Your countless hours, hard work behind the scenes, early mornings, late nights, problem solving, and dedication are what keep this tradition alive year after year. Events like this simply would not be possible without you.

As we celebrate another successful Feis, we also look ahead with gratitude and excitement — honoring the generations who built this tradition before us while inspiring the next generation to carry it forward.

Thank you all for being part of the journey, the memories, and the future. ☘️

Come visit Dymphna up by registration or say hi as we walk around. If she is in her pink harness and leash you are welcome to interact with her.

Today’s Feis is dedicated to Pete Hannon.

Dymphna, a Service/Therapy Dog in Training, will be at the Cleveland Feis this weekend to provide comfort and calm when appropriate. Competitive days can feel overwhelming, and sometimes a few quiet moments with a furry friend can help dancers reset and refocus.

There are a few entries that have a balance due. Please log on to ifeis and take care of this ASAP. Any balance not paid will need to see the registrar to pick up your number. If you have a balance due you have been contacted via email.

If you have a late registration that is unpaid please do so by 6 pm today. The only registration is a paid registration so any unpaid registration will incur the day of registration fee of $100

Thank you for your assistance in making registration run smoothly on Sunday.
