April 3 | 1 – 3 PM | Western Gravel

Ring in spring during Tartan Week as Madison Square Park Conservancy and Visit Scotland partner to host a free thistle seed giveaway (while supplies last) and live Ceilidh dance demonstration led by PBS host and dancer Mickela Mallozzi. Bring your dancing shoes to the west gravel to enjoy musical performances from the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Free and open to the public, no registration necessary.

What is Ceilidh?

A ceilidh dance, pronounced “kay-lee,” is a lively, social form of traditional Scottish country dancing, often featuring a live band, a caller who guides the steps, and a focus on fun and participation rather than perfection.
