CELTIC FESTIVAL

Last weekend I attended the Celtic Fest at St. Michael's school, an old restored house and quarters in Roseland. It was wonderful to hear the music and watch the various dancers doing old Irish jigs and dancing. Many types of instruments were played in the bands including harmonicas, accordians, small guitars, fifes, flutes, and drums.

The gathering was underneath some redwoods and fig trees, and there was a lovely garden too. The dancers were dressed in 19th century costumes. I enjoyed being present with this ethnic entertainment. It reminded me of being in Williamsburg back East.
