From the IAANJ Cultural Cente Merge onto Route 15 North, Follow 15 until it joins Route 206 just beyond Lafayette, New Jersey. Proceed North for one mile to Plains Road, turn right at the light, and The Sussex County Fairgrounds will be on the right one mile down the road. From NYC and Eastern NJA Feis (fesh) is a traditional Gaelic arts and culture festival. The plural forms are feiseanna.
In Ancient Ireland communities placed great importance on local festivals, where Gaels could come together in song, dance, music, theatre and sport. The largest of these was the Aonach, the great festival at Tara, which was then the city of Ireland's Ardrí, or "High King".
These feiseanna were a rich opportunity for storytellers to reach a large audience, and often warriors would recount their exploits in combat, clansmen would trace family genealogies, and bards and balladeers would lead the groups in legends, stories, and song.
These gatherings eventually gave rise to athletic and sporting competitions, including horse- and chariot-racing, as well as feats of strength and endurance.
