We have a special bonus edition of STUFF TO DO this week.
Today we’re going to cover The Celtic Calling, then tomorrow we’ll cover everything else. The 7th Celtic Calling Gathering will take place downtown and around Charleston WV between March 1st-5th 2023.
This celebration of all things Celtic has become an annual tradition here in Charleston. If you can come out to enjoy this immersion into Celtic culture.
Many of the events are free, and it’s a way better way to celebrate the home countries of many Appalachians than green beer and leprechauns.
