19th Annual Winterdance Celtic Christmas Celebration
Thursday December 18th, 2025
Doors open: 7:00 pm
Concert: 7:30 - 9:30 pm
A joyful and cherished holiday tradition returns this December, marking the 19th Annual Winterdance Celtic Christmas Celebration. Angelic singing, instrumental wizardry, and championship Irish step dancing combine to lift your hearts this holiday season. This
year’s show welcomes back the soaring vocals of San Francisco’s Amelia Hogan, Molly’s Revenge fiddler John Weed, and the banjo and mandolin artistry of rising artist, Tyler Weed. Once again, on guitar, mandolin and vocals, we’re honored to share the stage
with Wake the Dead’s Paul Kotapish. All Ireland champion Irish step dancer, Marisa Gilman, will bring a percussive and visually stunning element to the performance.
