Stroll through the historic Mill Street Plaza in Downtown Grass Valley and enjoy a delightful variety of live traditional Celtic music sessions featuring artists from San Francisco, Berkeley, Santa Rosa, Chico, Auburn and even further afoot. Local favorites, The National Hotel Celtic Session and The Holbrooke Hotel Irish Session, will also join in on the fun.
Kickstart your Celtic Festival weekend with us! Sip a drink, savor an appetizer al fresco, explore local galleries, and shop to the soulful sounds of the Celtic lands.
Gorgeous ancient melodies to melt your heart. Foot stompin’ jigs and reels. Beautiful Airs to carry you away….
What is a session, you ask?
“A Session (seisun in Gaelic) is a gathering of traditional musicians for the purpose of celebrating their common interest in the music by playing it together in a relaxed, informal setting…. It works like this: One musician starts playing a tune, and whoever knows the tune joins in and plays along.” – Field Guide to the Irish Music Session – Barry Foy
Sessions are an important part of the rich and storied history of KVMR Celtic Festival. Check out the collection of participatory sessions all weekend long at the Sessions Stage
