A Taste of Ireland Comes to Northern Michigan

Oct. 11, 2025

An “Irish Music & Dance Sensation” takes the stage with two performances in northern Michigan this week. A Taste of Ireland features former World Irish dance champions and stars from the West End’s Lord of the Dance and Riverdance, and the performance is now touring the country following their off-Broadway premiere. Audiences are promised “melodic folk mash-ups, jaw-dropping a cappella tap battles, and captivating storytelling.” Catch them at the Cheboygan Opera House on Sunday, Oct. 19. Tickets range from $41-$61; the 4pm show sold out, but a second show at 7:30pm was still available as of press time. Get tickets theoperahouse.org. The dancers head to Great Lakes Center for the Arts in Bay Harbor next, with 3:30pm and 7:30pm showtimes on Saturday, Oct. 25. Tickets range from $49-$69 at greatlakescfa.org.
