The Maine Irish Heritage Center is bringing the cherished Irish tradition of storytelling to Maine this summer!
In days gone by neighbors would gather at night in the local ceili house, the home of a storyteller. They came for conversation, and to hear stories of their community, its history, old tales handed down by the ancestors, some music. These gatherings helped build community and preserve the culture and values of the Irish people.
We invite you to join us this summer at one of our storytelling events! Bring a story, a poem, a song, or simply come to listen and enjoy an evening among friends—or friends-in-the-making.
Event Details:
Location: Banded Brewing Co., Biddeford Maine
Time: 6:30pm-7:30pm
Host: Cathy Furness
Story Guidelines: Stories, songs, or poems should be 10 minutes or less
A timekeeper will help us keep things moving.
No hate speech – creative freedom is welcome, but kindness and inclusivity are essential
All are welcome – come to share or simply to listen
Storytelling is central to Irish culture—as it is to so many cultures around the world. These outdoor events are part of MIHC’s mission to share this tradition across Maine while also supporting local businesses and gathering spaces. Let’s build community together, one story at a time.
