A Celtic Equinox has traditionally been an annual, springtime concert event held in the Willey Building auditorium in Cabot, Vermont. Featuring regional musicians, and attended by patrons local to Central Vermont, it has traditionally been a humble hometown event. This year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been inspired to reach beyond our provincial borders and reconceive the event to include Celtic musicians from across Vermont and greater New England, Ireland and Canada. We look forward to presenting this exciting, expanded format.
Admission: A suggested donation of $20 grants unlimited access to all performance videos for the duration of the event. The admission fee supports participating musicians, Cabot Arts, and the Féile na Tána festival.
