An all-day, all-weather festival of Celtic and French Canadian music and dance performed on five stages simultaneously in historic Chandler Music Hall and in other all-weather facilities. About 100 musicians and folk dancers from Northern New England, Canada, and the British Isles will perform.

Chandler Music Hall is New England's finest small concert hall. Other events will be at the Cultural Center, at Bethany Congregational Church and under a colorful complex of walled tents. This is an all-weather accessible event.

This year's festival is dedicated to Jerry Holland (1955-2009).
