Fáilte go Ceatharlach 2025 Is mian linn céad míle fáilte a fhearadh romhaibh go léir. I rith na seachtaine déanfaimid cultúir, traidisiúin agus na teangacha ceilteacha atá ag Alba, an Bhreatain Bheag, an Choirn, Oileán Mhanainn, an Bhriotáin agus Éire a cheiliúradh agus a chomóradh. Beidh ceol, amhránaíocht, damhsa, scéalaíocht, filíocht, spraoi, ceardaíocht, ealaín  agus comhluadar againn le chéile. Táimid fíorbhuíoch daoibhse as teacht chugainn, as bhur gcuideachta agus as bhur gcáirdeas. Gabhaimis buíochas ach go háirithe leis na coistí náisiúnta éagsúla as bhur ndíograis agus dúthracht i rith na bliana ag spreagadh daoine chun teacht go Ceatharlach agus páirt a ghlacadh in imeachtaí na féile. Tá an Fhéile Pan Cheilteach ’25 eagraithe i gcomhair le Comhairle Contae Cheatharlach agus táimid fíorbhuíoch as an maoiniú flaithiúil atá curtha ar fáil. Tugaimid aitheantas do na maoinaitheoirí eile go háirithe Foras na Gaeilge agus Oireachtas na Gaeilge. Over the years, the Pan Celtic Festival has been a wonderful opportunity to build cherished friendships with like-minded individuals from all the Celtic nations. These connections are very special to me, and I am excited to reunite with old friends while also making new ones. Míle buíochas. Let’s make the 2025 festival a memorable and enriching experience for everyone involved. A special thank you to the members of the six national committees who have worked tirelessly spreading the word and encouraging more and more to come and participate in Pan Celtic. The Pan Celtic International Festival ’25 is organised in partnership with Carlow County Council and we acknowledge the Council’s very generous funding without which the festival would not happen. We also wish to thank our other sponsors including Foras na Gaeilge and Oireachtas na Gaeilge. Míle Buíochas.
