Title: Who's going to the Celtic Festival in Houston this Sat.?
Post by: fireworks guy on January 30, 2009, 04:53:20 PM
I'm going for sure.

What: Celtic Dragon's "Imbloc/St. Brigid's Day Festival"
Where: 1503A Chartres  Houston, Texas 77003 (first floor of "Meridian")
When: Sat. January 31, 2009  noon to 8:00p.m.
Admission is free.
This festival benefits the Shriner's Hospital of Houston.

These folks are trying to bring back the many Celtic festivals that used to go on a few years ago in Houston. (remember the "Garden in the Heights" days?) They need our support to make them successful. I hope to see some of us there!

I'm sorry I missed it.  I'd like to see some pics and read how it went.

There's also a Celtic Festival at the St. Andrews Episcopal Church on February 15th from noon on.  Zardoz has posted this elsewhere.  I haven't been to this and am looking forward to it.

Nice pics!  Thanks!  I've seen that play at McClellans' Scottish Pub a few months ago.  Is that Lars Sloan on the pipes?

Aye, 'tis! Apparently he and Brian played at TRF this year and I missed it. If I work faire at all next season, it will only be carrying a banner in parade. And this time, I mean it!

I missed Lars and Brian, too, although I enjoyed Tartanic and Wind & Alchemy.
