Three traditional CMU celebrations merge: Cèilidh Weekend

The Tartan Online: Cèilidh Weekend, which draws its name from the Scottish Gaelic word meaning “visit,” is “a celebration for the entire Carnegie Mellon family, combining the traditions of Homecoming Weekend, International Festival and Family Weekend,” according to Carnegie Mellon’s website. Traditionally, a cèilidh (pronounced kay-lee) is a party hosted in the homes of family and friends, characterized by music, dancing, and storytelling.
