A Ceilidh is a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering that features folk music and dancing. Participants often form groups or circles to perform various dances, which are usually led by a caller who instructs the dancers on the steps. The atmosphere is lively and encourages everyone to join in, regardless of their dancing experience. Ceilidhs typically include live music played on instruments like the fiddle, accordion, and bodhrán. These events are popular at weddings, festivals, and community celebrations, fostering a sense of togetherness and cultural heritage among attendees.
