Many St. Patrick’s Day parades and parties are going virtual and getting canceled for the second year in a row due to COVID-19, but groups are still finding ways to celebrate Irish culture.

One of those groups is An Dragan Ceilteach Irish Dancers, which teaches traditional Irish dance to kids and adults. On Saturday, the troupe held a socially distanced parade and “siamsa” (Gaelic for “celebration”) that featured Irish music and dance, as well as lessons and colorful costumes, at Herriman’s Advantage Arts Academy.
