Just days away to Celtic Colours and the number of venues is mounting with special events in the L’Ardoise and Grand River area in association with the 2010 Celtic Colours International Festival.
The Celtic Colours International Festival is a favorite of most, the music and the colours can’t be beat. And then the community functions besides, just add such a special feel to the whole festival. The community groups go all out, visitors no matter what their interest can find something that will really add to their experience.
This years festival has the communities of L’Ardoise and Grand River re-offering some of the very popular events from last year. We have a mix of great food venues, especially the Lobster supper. Make sure to reserve your seat early as this event will sell out quick. If you like to hike or dance they have those options covered as this year visitors can sign up for the dance workshop and then try out what they have learned at the Old Tyme Square dance. And crafters coming to the festival are in for a treat as they will be able to take in the Open House at Grey Seal Weavers with our very talented local weaver Del Zoppo. Check out the events listed below with time, prices and locations. Have fun I know I will.
