Celtic Classic returns this weekend to Bethlehem, which means Highland games, border collies, beer and kilts.
Just as important as the aforementioned sights and suds, the festival will not be skimping on its live music offerings. Celtic Classic will be held Friday, Sept. 23, through Sunday, Sept. 25.
This year's lineup includes scheduled performances by Celtic Classic staples Blackwater, Burning Bridget Cleary, Glengarry Boys, Barleyjuice and the Timlin and Kane duo.
