As we prepare for St. Patrick’s Day, why not join us for an afternoon as the Celtic Fiddlers, a dynamic ensemble of seven talented musicians, take the stage to present "Celtic Tides."

This captivating show tells the compelling story of the Irish migration to Newfoundland, weaving together the rich tapestry of music, culture, and history that has shaped the unique identity of our province.

Under the direction of Korona Brophy, musician, arranger and teacher, the Celtic Fiddlers, formed in 1993 perform at a wide milieu of international, national and festivals and special events. Their travels have taken them to New York, Ireland, Isle of Man, Ottawa, and throughout the province.

For centuries, fishing for cod has played a vital role in the lives of the peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador. Generations of fishing men, women, and children made use of the land and sea to sustain them and spent their lives “making fish.”

Each tour is approximately 30–40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
