A ceilidh is a party! Ours is on Friday night and begins the Festival weekend. The ceilidh is held at Via Veneto on Route 58 off of Interstate 79. It begins at 7:30 p.m. and requires a separate ticket and a reservation (see the Tickets page).
The ceilidh is an informal opportunity to hear many of the entertainers that will perform on Saturday at the Festival, including the renowned Homespun Ceilidh Band, and both talk to your friends and meet new ones.
Concert
Our Concert is on Saturday night at the Bridgeport High School auditorium. This is just in front and to the left of the Festival grounds at the Bridgeport City Park. The concert begins at 8 p.m. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door.
The Concert features Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas, The Rogues, Rathkeltair, and Ed Miller. This is a real treat for music lovers, in part because the more formal concert environment allows higher quality sound equipment and better acoustics.
Kirkin’ of the Tartans
This is a short parade on Clarksburg’s Main Street leading to the First Presbyterian Church. The parade begins at 10:30 am. After the service, all are invited to a reception in the Westminster Hall of the Church.
The Church will be decorated with tartans and the sermon usually brings in reminders of our Scottish ancestry.
