St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and the parade goes down this weekend. Also this week is Celtic Fest Vancouver! There will be 60+ free and ticketed shows, with music, dance, film, storytelling and much more. For five days (March 16 – 20), the sound of bagpipes will fill the streets, pubs and venues. So after work head on over to Western Canada’s largest and most popular Celtic celebration.
The festival’s Celtic Village & Street Market returns to its original location Granville Street (between Georgia & Smithe Street), on Saturday, March 19 & Sunday, March 20, 2011.
At the Celtic Village you’ll encounter wandering players walking about playing their instruments and singing. There will be no green beer drinking as this is a kid friendly event. Bring the kids for Irish storytelling, face painting and fun, interactive entertainment. Discover a wealth of Celtic arts, crafts and goods in the Village Market.
There’ll be Celtic music in the air, with free Celtic performances on the Music Stage throughout the festival weekend.
