In partnership with ANAM CARA (meaning “friend of my soul”), a local Celtic band, we will feature educational information, step-dancing, sing-alongs, and other participatory activities to help you learn more about Celtic music and stories from the past and present. We invite music lovers and dancers, as well as those simply curious about Celtic music, to join the fun as we explore the musical traditions of the Celts.
