The 2012 Celtic Colours lineup has been announced! The Chestico Museum is pleased to once again be hosting two events.
On Tuesday, October 9th at 2 PM, Storytelling & Afternoon Tea will be held at the museum. Once again, we will feature local storytellers and this year we will focus on stories about the fishing communities of Port Hood and Port Hood Island, telling tales of days gone by from the perspective of those who fished and those who supported the fishermen. The cost is $10.
The evening of October 9th, the Chestico Museum show Close to the Floor will be held at 7:30 PM at Strathspey Place in Mabou. With its focus on dance, this show is a perennial favourite. Last year, the Asham Stompers dropped in to this show unannounced and boy did they make an impression! Now they’re back by popular demand. The Outside Track’s multi-national lineup will allow them to show off two styles of dance, Cape Breton step and Irish sean nos dancing. This showcase of dance styles wouldn’t be complete without some highland dance and some of Cape Breton’s finest traditional step dancers – including Harvey Beaton, Sabra MacGillivray & The Celtic Touch Dancers, Joel Chiasson and Brandi McCarthy.
Ticket prices are $35/$30/$25 and are available through the Celtic Colours site or the Strathspey Place Box Office. Tickets go on sale Monday, July 9th at 10 AM ADT.
Prior to our our Storytelling, beginning at 11 AM, you can purchase a delicious soup and sandwich lunch for just $5 at St. Stephen’s Church Hall. A roast beef supper is available that evening at St. Peter’s Parish Hall beginning at 4 PM. The meal is sponsored by the Port Hood Knights of Columbus. The cost is $15 for adults and $7 for children 12 and under.
We look forward to seeing you this year during Celtic Colours!
