Quebec City enjoyed a lively color burst as it hosted its 9th Annual Celtic Festival from September 3 to 7. During the weekend, CG Hale VanKoughnett attended a musical performance by the Fraser Highlanders pipe and drum corps who played charming traditional folk tunes. Skirling pipes and vivid colors mirrored the rich multicultural background of Quebec and how communities of Celtic origins continue to celebrate ancient and traditional instruments, keeping them an integral part of their musical heritage.
This year, the Festival launched “the Kilt Run”, a brand new sporting event. The five-kilometer fun run was held Saturday, September 6 at 10:00 a.m., bringing together kilted runners or walkers. Upon arrival, each participant received a kilt!
