Unfortunately, the Celtic Fair on May 18th has been called off indefinitely. Issues of event scale, facility capacity and costs could not be resolved in the time available. I therefore was compelled to cancel the event. I am sorry this didn’t work out and am grateful to all who supported the effort.
