Detroit irish
music association
Fáilte! Welcome!
Detroit Irish Music Association branch of CCÉ has been promoting and teaching traditional Irish music in the Detroit area for over 40 years through lessons, workshops, concerts, and social musical gatherings.
DIMA @ The Lodge!
Starting February 6, 2025, our Thursday evening gatherings will be moving to The Lodge at Grace - Ann Arbor North.
​
Address:
3100 Glazier Way
Ann Arbor, MI
​
The Lodge is located less than half a mile west of the intersection of Green and Glazier Way, where our former home at Green Wood is located. It is tucked away in the woods with the driveway directly across from Wolverhampton Ln.
​
Parking:
The main parking is area is located to the rear and left of the building as you pull in. There is an additional building adjacent to the parking lot, but the Lodge is the building on the right side of the driveway.
There are a few limited spots on the right immediately after pulling in that are closer to the building entrance. Please reserve these spots for those with mobility limitations. While the main parking area should be enough to accommodate everyone most nights, there is overflow parking available to the right, past the accessible spots and back behind the lodge.

We're excited to announce that we have found a new home, beginning in February 2025!
Excited to announce that starting in February, we will have a new home for our Thursday night tunes, tea, lessons and more!
Beginning Feb 6th, we will be meeting at The Lodge at Grace Ann Arbor North, 3100 Glazier Way. Conveniently located right around the corner from our former home at Green Wood, this cozy new space will host our weekly gatherings and allow us to continue the same format at the same day and time -- Thursday evenings from 7-10pm.
​
We're incredibly thankful to all the folks at Green Wood FUMC for being a wonderful home for us for the past 10+ years, and wish the new owners of the building all the best! We'll finish out strong with four more gatherings at Green Wood starting tomorrow, 1/9 and a final farewell on 1/30!
Hope to see you all soon!

Sunday Sessions at the League
with Detroit Irish Radio
Another opportunity to make music with friends is at the Gaelic League Sunday sessions.
​
Kathleen O'Neill broadcasts the Detroit Irish Radio Show from the Gaelic League and loves when DIMA musicians come before the session at 2:30 pm to play some tunes live. After the radio show ends at 3 pm, the session begins and continues until 5pm.
​
The dates of the Sunday sessions vary each month, so look at the facebook feed to the right on this page to find the dates for this month.
