Craic Agus Ceoil: Irish Ball 2010

Hosted by Irish Network China (INC), the St. Patrick’s Day Irish Ball, an annual highlight of Beijing’s social scene, was held last night, Saturday, March 13 in the ballroom of Kerry Centre Hotel.

Sold out a record four weeks in advance, this event raised a substantial sum for local Jinde Charities, which works with the aged and AIDS patients.

A black tie event with open bar, sit-down dinner and live entertainment showcasing Irish music and dancing, the event continued into the wee hours of the morning, ending appropriately with big groups of Irish singing around a piano at 5:00am.
