Melbourne Celtic Festival – 17 March 2020
Postponement of the Melbourne Celtic Festival until further notice.
As we look to assist Bushfire affected communities through the fundraiser the Melbourne Celtic Festival, The Mission to Seafarers Board and the Festival organisers have made the very tough decision to postpone the event due to the COVID-19 risk at public events. Our first priority is the safety of everyone including attendees, our personnel, all event partners and members of the local community.
We apologise for the inconvenience and are now working with all of the participants to find a suitable date to hold the Festival later in the year at the Mission to Seafarers.
The Melbourne Celtic Festival is coming to the Mission this St Patrick’s Day – 17 March 2020.
Join us for a celebration of Celtic Arts & Culture
9.30am–11pm
