Celebrate all things Irish, Scottish, and Welsh at Historic Cold Spring Village’s 15th Annual Celtic Weekend on July 13-14 from 10am-4:30pm. The weekend features musical entertainment throughout the grounds.

Joe McGonigle will entertain all weekend long along with world-renowned musician Tom Brett. Mike Dupuy Falconry will be joining us again on Sunday.

The Celtic nations love their sports and one of the summer team sports they enjoy is the venerable old game of cricket, which is played on a moderate basis throughout Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
Visitors to this year's Celtic Weekend at Historic Cold Spring Village will have an opportunity to personally experience this aspect of Celtic culture by joining in the short, informal, cricket games American cricket player and teacher Tom Melville will be leading that weekend. The games will be run on a continuous walk-up basis and are open to all. Absolutely no experience required! So come and discover what "play ball" means to the Celtic people!
