10th anniversary Owen Sound Celtic festival

August 11, 2008

From the settling of The “Queens Bush” area, to modern day Owen Sound, one constant remains; the culture and heritage of celts who pioneered Grey Bruce Ontario. 2008 ushers us into our 10th year. Coming into our stride we want to expand our vision of a full arts festival in September, to include some year round events which promote the spoken word, painting, instrumental, vocal and dance arts of the celtic nations. We invite all those interested in perpetuating the continuance of the celtic arts, to come together in a series of smaller events held year round in our lovely Port City of Owen Sound.

Visit the Owen Sound Celtic Society for more details.
