Rekindle the flame in the hearth with stories, dance & song from Ireland.

In concert halls from California to Florida, from Texas to Maine, Tomáseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas takes us back to Ireland of the 1950s, to a night before Christmas, to a place where the motor car, the television, and the telephone were little more than unlikely rumors, and to a time when the neighbors would gather at each others’ homes, bringing with them not only their traditional musical instruments, but also their songs, their dances, their laughter, and -- always, ever and always, -- their stories.

Enjoy a delicious hot breakfast with holly old St. Nick! Participants receive photo opportunities with Santa, kids holiday craft and a yummy breakfast. The event is FREE! Seating is very limited. Registration opens Ocotober 25th

Two sessions

Session 1 830am-930am

Santa's Haunted Coal Mine

A civil war has broken out at the North Pole as half the elves have kidnaped Santa in a war that has become known as Naughty vs. Nice! The Naughty have opened up a portal unleashing all past villains of Christmas, led by the infamous Green One who has been known to be a mean one… if you know what I mean.

The Nice need your help in securing Santa’s Coal Mine or all children will receive a lump of coal this year, regardless if they’re naughty or nice. Do you have what it takes to survive this Christmas horrorland and save Santa before it is too late?
