One of the most popular features of Celtic Colours each year is the Festival Club, brought to you by Big Spruce. Located at Colaisde na Gàidhlig / the Gaelic College in St. Ann’s, the licensed Festival Club opens as the evening concerts are closing, offering an opportunity for Festival artists to showcase in a more informal setting, or to get a session in with musical pals and peers from near and far. It also serves as a spot for everyone to wind down and catch up with friends at the end of the day. Performance is by invitation only and depends upon artist availability on any given night. The performance schedule is not posted in advance.

Tickets are $20 at the door and Festival Club is restricted to 19 years and over. Food will be available for purchase from Bar Down and there is a free shuttle service running between Festival Club and sponsor hotels in Baddeck thanks to support from NSLC’s Safe Rides program and Cape Concierge. The NSLC is proud to support events and initiatives that foster community wellbeing and connection while celebrating responsibly. The goal of the Safe Rides program is to ensure Nova Scotians get home safely by offering taxi coupons, shuttle services, or free transit rides at community events.
