Ceilidh
Time: 6 pm to 10 am (most likely later)
Admission: $16
The Bakersfield Games is famous for its Ceilidh! Ceilidh is pronounced "kay-lee" and is Gaelic for Party! "The people here are really enthusiastic and the Ceilidh is one of the best, if not THE best Ceilidh in the country," said Aaron Shaw, piper for the Wicked Tinkers. "People get involved, they don't just sit and watch. That is the essence of a Ceilidh."
Now, we have to admit that the above You Tube is not from our Ceilidh and that Craig Fergusson will not be playing with them at our event. However! What you see on You Tube, the vitality, the energy, the just plain fun, is what you will get at our Ceilidh! (By the way, Craig Fergusson, if you do want to come to our Ceilidh, we will have a few free tickets just for you!)

Pre-sale Tickets can be purchased at the Clubhouse (1985 Airport Drive) or at World Records (Coffee and Stockdale). Or just purchase them at the Society Tent the day of the Games! Only 400 tickets will be sold!
As this is a family friendly event, if you plan to drink, please have a designated driver or call a taxi. Your life is very important to us.
