Each year the North American Province of CCE holds a convention in a North American city. The location in 2008 will be in Northern New Jersey at the Hilton Hotel in Parsippany from March 27th to 30th, 2008.
The convention attracts over 2,000 people, members of CCE and non-members alike, many staying the entire weekend at the Parsippany Hilton which is ours exclusively for the event. During this weekend, there are music sessions everywhere throughout hotel as well as workshops for Irish musicians, singers, dancers and Irish language. Additionally, there are ceilis with hundreds of dancers at one of the most popular events on the annual Traditional Music Calendar
We will publish a commemorative journal which will raise monies to continue our mission of passing on the music and dance to the younger generation. In recent years, the Comhaltas movement has again enjoyed a bumper crop of younger teachers and students in the greater New York area ensuring a proud inheritance into the next generation. We need to maintain the high standard we have worked hard to achieve and make musical instruction and instruments available to all who wish to take it up.
