The Providence Children’s Museum (PCM) will host the Tir Na Nog Irish Dancers on March 16, 2024, as part of the museum’s Cultural Connections program.

The Tir Na Nog Irish Dancers are the only non-competitive dance troupe in Rhode Island, and their performance at the PCM will be a unique opportunity for attendees to learn more about Irish culture and traditions.

Each performance will feature information about Irish dancing, a performance from current students enrolled at Tir Na Nog, and information for families to learn about how to become an Irish dancer.

“Each month, we share a unique cultural experience for our visitors,” says Executive Director Caroline Payson. “The Irish immigrants had a significant impact on the Rhode Island Community specifically highlighted in our Coming to Rhode Island exhibit with the building of Fort Adams. Irish Dance is a great way to learn more about Irish traditions – plus it’s tremendously fun.”

The Cultural Connections program at the Providence Children’s Museum is designed to enrich the lives of young children through exposure to different cultures and arts.

Performances will take place at 10:30 am and 11:20 am. Registration is required for both events and includes museum admission. Regular discounts will apply. Click here for more information.
