Traveler is the headliner of the Winter Solstice Fest."They are bringing their unique Celtic/World Music holiday show to the Winter Solstice Celebration at the Irish Cultural Center on December 21st at 6:00 pm. This special concert performance will feature both traditional tunes, like you’ve never heard them before, and original compositions, all performed on ethnic instruments collected from their global travels.
Fan favorites “Carol of the Bells” and “Little Drummer Boy” will be performed alongside the silliness of “The Grinch”, bringing a fun holiday show that is full of the magic of Christmas."
The Winter Solstice, now as in ancient times, marks the longest night of the year, when the sun is at its lowest elevation in the sky. The return of the sun from its most southern position in the horizon as always been of great ceremonial significance, while also serving as a celestial clock.
Here in Phoenix the occasion is marked by music, poetry and crafts. The evening starts with a brief remembrance of those we have lost. Then onto the bonfire where the Grove of the Rising Phoenix will invite all to join in a community celebration of the New Year using elements of druidic rituals. A video presentation on New Grange and the Solstice tradition follows in the Great Hall.
Bar with alcohol and hot drinks will be available for purchase.
The McClelland Library will be open from 4-5 PM to walk through before it closes for the rest of the year.
