Who We Are

Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann (pronounced COAL-tus KYOL-TOR-ee AIR-in) is the largest group involved in the preservation and promotion of Irish traditional music.

We’re a non-profit cultural movement with hundreds of local branches around the world. We’ve been working for the cause of Irish music since the middle of the last century (1951 to be precise).

Our efforts continue with increasing zeal as the movement launches itself into the 21st century.

Philadelphia / Delaware Valley

The Delaware Valley Branch was formed in 1998. It is part of the Mid-Atlantic Region CCÉ, under the umbrella of CCÉ North America.

We host several events throughout the year, including an AGM Dance Party each fall, Sober St. Patrick’s Day Party, and a Wren Party each December.
