The Blackthorn Academy of Irish Dance opened in 2023 and has been putting on shows in the Eugene area and beyond ever since. This St. Patrick's Day, come and celebrate with us by watching our dancers perform at 255 MADISON! We have dancers of all ages and experience levels, from beginners who are 5 years old to adults dancing at the championship level. We will also have members of the Frolicking Meese performing group dances, also known as Ceili dances. If you stick around, you might just get the opportunity to learn a dance or two yourself!

Alongside Blackthorn Academy and the Frolicking Meese, Ky Fireside will be hanging around and will share information about their campaign. Ky is running for the Oregon House of Representatives District 7, which represents Springfield.

This is NOT a ticketed event, and entry is free. Donations for Ky's campaign are welcome but not mandatory. Blackthorn Academy and the Frolicking Meese are donating their time for the campaign and are not receiving any compensation for this performance.
