Jocelyn from somewhere in Canada said:
"Pronounced down east as "kay lee", this local word is defined as an Irish or Scottish social gathering with traditional music, dancing, and storytelling. Often on Cape Breton Island and in other Nova Scotian kitchens, these ceilidhs represent good food, drink, dancing, friends, and family.
These fun filled kitchen parties and dances will be filled with the shouts of "Ceilidh" as we raise our glasses and clink them together in celebration of our new Canadian word."
Thanks
