I think it’s wonderful to see your community gathering in celebration of its culture and history and are sharing that pride with others. The incredible cultural diversity of our province makes it the interesting place that it is today. This year’s festival and St. Patrick’s Day Parade, with local and international artists showcasing Celtic talent, promises to be an exciting two weeks. I’d like to thank all the organizers, volunteers and artists for putting together yet another unforgettable festival and parade. Without your hard work and dedication, none of this would be possible. This is a wonderful way to bring the community together. I am sure everyone will have an amazing time discovering their inner Celt with friends and family! Welcome to CelticFest Vancouver 2015! Our Government knows how important arts and culture are to the strength of our communities, our identity, and our economy. As we approach Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, this is the perfect time to celebrate everything that makes this such a remarkable country—including the rich traditions of the Celtic lands, which are an important part of Canada’s own cultural heritage. This is why we are proud to support this exciting event that brings people of all ages and backgrounds together in a celebration of community spirit and Celtic culture.
