Celebrating a milestone of 15 years of cultural enrichment and community, the Celtic Junction proudly invites you to partake in our 2024 Irish Arts Weeks from April 12th to April 30th.
This year's festivities promise an exploration of Irish heritage, featuring free Irish dance classes, hurling practice, live music, film showings, and the highly anticipated Irish Language Weekend. Additionally, attendees can look forward to engaging in traditional Irish music sessions and discovering unique, one-off classes on Viking and Celtic knotwork, history, and literature. Whether you prefer in-person or virtual learning opportunities, Irish Arts Week has something for you. Our mix of free and paid events makes this cultural adventure accessible to all.
