Sudbury Celtic Festival
 |
I blogged yesterday about the Tallahassee Celtic Festival and Highland Games and today I found another one in Sudbury, Canada. As I said yesterday, I think it is amazing to see this modern day celebration of our Celtic roots – the question I would really like to see answered is: where are the UK Festivals?
Bell Park will erupt with the wail of bagpipes, Scottish sports, Celtic songs and stories, and the smells of traditional meals during the inaugural Greater Sudbury Celtic Festival and Highland Games on May 24. |
Derek Young, festival director, said:
The timing for this year’s inaugural festival is great, given that the City of Greater Sudbury is celebrating its 125th Anniversary, and many of our local pipe bands and community partners are also celebrating milestone anniversaries
The festival will feature local singers, storytellers, historians, the Vale Inco Canadian Federation of Scottish Athletes Heavy Games Exhibition, pipe band performances, food, folklore and vendors promoting traditional crafts, gifts, and unique items.
There will be an evening concert featuring Sudbury’s own Duncan Cameron, returning home with his Celtic band, Fig for a Kiss. They will be sharing the stage with Andy Lowe, who will be singing traditional ballads from his CD entitled, Inheritance.
