Bethlehem, PA – April 10, 2023 – The Celtic Cultural Alliance (CCA) is pleased to announce SEAMUS KENNEDY & GERRY TIMLIN, in concert together on June 22nd. Two of the most recognized names in Irish entertainment.
Sponsored by Historic Hotel Bethlehem.
Both entertainers are long time crowd favorites at the Celtic Classic, with Gerry performing all 36 years. Sadly, Seamus is unable to join us this year. He has graciously offered this show instead.
Seamus and Gerry were born in Ireland and have been friends for countless years. This is the first time they have shared a stage together in this way. The dynamic between them is like sitting in a pub with two friends who are talented musicians and tell the best stories. From the edgy comedy and music of Seamus to the trad songs and storytelling of Gerry, it is the best Irish entertainment on this side of the pond!
Do not miss this opportunity to see these two great performers and friends together. One show only and you may never have the opportunity again!
These tickets won’t last long. Visit www.celticfest.org for details & tickets. CCA members receive a discount with code.
The CCA is gearing up for the 36th presentation of the Celtic Classic Highland Games & Festival, September 22nd – September 24th, and will begin making major announcements this month, including the performer line up.

About the Celtic Cultural Alliance
On Columbus Day weekend in 1988, the first Celtic Classic was presented by a small group of individuals. The goal of this dedicated group was to create an event that symbolized the Celtic spirit and history, and to provide the impetus for an organization that focused on promoting the Celtic culture. This group has now evolved into Celtic Cultural Alliance to better communicate the overall goals of the organization.
The CCA has expanded with year-round programming to support the mission of promoting and preserving Celtic Culture through arts, music, literature, dance, and history programs. In keeping with the spirit of “Next Generation”, the CCA also offers scholarships to promising young students of the Celtic Arts. These yearly scholarships are offered to students of the arts, including Irish Step Dance, Highland Dance, Fiddle, and Bagpipes.
The Celtic Classic has blossomed into one of the largest Highland Games and Celtic Festivals in North America. Annually, over 200,000 visitors come to Historic Bethlehem to join in this celebration of all things Celtic. The organization has expanded into year-round programs. Our educational programming has expanded to include community outreach events in area school districts, religious institutions, local theaters and colleges throughout the Lehigh Valley. A series of scholarships are awarded each year in varied areas of Celtic culture.
