Festival to feature Irish culture, Celtic music

By Christian Giggenbach
Register-Herald reporter

The seventh annual First Day International Festival is set for 1 to 5 p.m. Thursday at New River Community and Technical College.

FDIF president Hanno Kirk said this year’s event will feature the culture of Ireland along with Celtic music and many other events for the young and old.

“The idea of the festival is to feature one culture or a series of cultures each year,” Kirk said Friday. “The emphasis is that we are all interconnected and we need to have a better cross-cultural understanding of one another.”

Performances by Celtic harpist Leah Trent, story teller and humorist Kim Weitkamp and musician and singer Patrick O’Flaherty have been scheduled.

“One of the interesting events this year will be an ancestors map where people can take a colored pen and write their family name on the country of a world map where they believe their ancestors came from,” Kirk said.

The festival will immediately follow the annual Shanghai parade in downtown Lewisburg. For more information, contact Jo Weisbrod at 304-647-3311 or 304-645-7615.
