Welcome to the 20th Annual Milwaukee Feis!

Presented by the Milwaukee Feis Society

20 years ago we began this feis with a humble 400 dancers. The Milwaukee Feis is now one of the largest, and is the longest running feis in Milwaukee, and we are very proud
to still be keeping the tradition alive today!

Once again, the 2009 Milwaukee Feis will be held at the Student Union at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (2200 E. Kenwood Blvd). This is a gorgeous campus and a great place for a feis. With plenty of room to spread out, places to eat and fun for everyone around the neighborhood, we are happy to hold our feis at this location once again in 2009.

Be sure to check out our location page for more information
about the campus and the Milwaukee area.

The Final Competitor List is now available HERE.
We are no longer accepting any changes, additions or payments.
We are completely closed to all registration - no exceptions.
Your entry, as it reads on this list, is what you are entered in for the feis this weekend.

If you have any questions, please the Milwaukee Feis at milwaukeefeis[at]gmail.com
