This group has now evolved into Celtic Cultural Alliance to better communicate the overall goals of the organization.<\/p>\n The CCA has expanded with year-round programming to support the mission of promoting and preserving Celtic Culture through arts, music, literature, dance, and history programs. In keeping with the spirit of \u201cNext Generation\u201d, the CCA also offers scholarships to promising young students of the Celtic Arts. These yearly scholarships are offered to students of the arts, including Irish Step Dance, Highland Dance, Fiddle, and Bagpipes.<\/p>\n The Celtic Classic has blossomed into one of the largest Highland Games and Celtic Festivals in North America. Annually, over 200,000 visitors come to Historic Bethlehem to join in this celebration of all things Celtic. The organization has expanded into year-round programs. Our educational programming has expanded to include community outreach events in area school districts, religious institutions, local theaters and colleges throughout the Lehigh Valley. A series of scholarships are awarded each year in varied areas of Celtic culture.<\/p>\n Find Us On Facebook, X and Instagram at @CelticClassic.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Information provided to TVL by: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Local organizations can gain visibility and earn money Bethlehem, PA \u2013 June 17, 2024\u00a0–\u00a0The Celtic Cultural Alliance (CCA) is pleased to be able to offer local organizations, clubs and teams … Continue reading Celtic Cultural Alliance Announces Fundraising Opportunities at the Celtic Classic<\/span>
