What's New

April, 2012

Hi all:

Well, it's now open season for CeltFest. News, news, and more news!

As is CeltFest's mandate to provide quality entertainment and learning experiences for all over our Island, it is time to say a fond farewell to Nanaimo, and a hello to our new home at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in our province's capital city, Victoria.

Be sure to register for the Summer School, and/or buy your CeltPAK of concert tickets, or your CeltPASS that give you full access to evening events and special participatory workshops!

Don't be disappointed. What a line up of great instructors, performers, programmes, concerts, and community events we have planned for you this summer in the seaside village of Oak Bay, Victoria, on our beautiful island!

-Carolyn Phillips-Cusson  & Rene Cusson

RIP ESTELLE CUSSON
