Celtic cultural celebrations

For a unique taste of Americana head to Chicago for the annual Celtic Fest 2006.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year the festival, held in the city's Grant Park on September 16th and 17th, brings together elements of Celtic culture from Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Brittany and the Galicia region of Spain, as well as Ireland and Scotland.

Visitors to Celtic Fest Chicago will be able to enjoy all the traditional elements of Celtic culture with plenty of music and dancing as well as local arts and crafts.

From the Petrillo Music Shell, which will showcase a variety of traditional and cutting edge Celtic music, to the Celtic Voice Tent where visitors will be able to enjoy poetry, story-telling and song, all elements of Celtic culture will be on show.

There will also be performances by Chicago's top dance groups, daily parades by the bagpipe circle, as well as an informal meeting place where the public can mix with performers and a kids' activity area.

Visit the Celtic Fest Chicago website for more details.
