2020,  Announcement

Application open for
2020 Virtual Festival!

We’re going virtual! 

Due to COVID-19, the Ceili of the Valley Society has decided to move the 5th annual Samhain Celtic New Year Festival online. This year’s event will take place Saturday, October 24, 2020, and feature all the things people have come to love experiencing at the event including live music, demonstrations, speakers, workshops, children’s activities, vendors, and more. 

Despite being virtual this year, the Festival aims to provide an immersive day of entertainment for the whole community as it celebrates the seven Celtic nations: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Galicia and Isle of Man, but to do this, we need your help.

If you are interested in being part of the Ceili of the Valley’s Virtual Samhain Festival please complete this form: https://forms.gle/PYsreeeN9oZGMShQ7  by August 14, 2020.

We look forward to hearing from you!
