With a full house and an intimate evening of Irish culture, music, and storytelling, the night was a beautiful reminder of the power of art and tradition to bring neighbors together.

We were honored to have Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley and MLA Janet Routledge in attendance to provide a warm welcome and celebrate with us. We were drawn in by Philomena Jordanโ€™s lovely tales, the lively tunes from Marilyn Noort and Dave Holloway and of course the dance from Catherine Hall.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the historic Overlynn Mansion and helped us start the festival on such a high note!
