This year at the Sparta Celtic we had some true Irish weather with some needed steady rain, unfortunately it came a day too soon, but that did not stop the Fiddlers or the Sparta Celtic Fest. The Fiddlers moved from main stage to the beverage tent so the Fiddlers and the audience could be dry.
It might have been a bit cooler and damp but it was a warm reception from Sparta. Thank you to the Sparta Celtic Fest for the invite once again and look forward to being back next year!
For more pictures and recorded live streams of the Sparta Celtic Fest see the Mona Shores Orchestra Facebook and Instagram pages.
