What is Feisin' the Coast?

We’re a group of dancers, parents, dance teachers, musicians, and business professionals who are passionate about promoting, fostering, and advancing interest and awareness of Irish culture through dance, song, and music along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

We host Irish festivals, feiseanna (Irish dance competitions), concerts, workshops, and other Irish cultural events.

"I traveled from New York and I had a fabulous time. You could tell the amount of thought, care, and consideration that went into each detail. It was lovely to be at a chill feis where the dancers' enjoyment was paramount. The vendors were a unique touch."
