Celtic Nights Coming to The Whiting

Celtic Nights, Ireland’s acclaimed showcase ensemble for music and dance, is returning for a coast-to-coast tour of North America. The “Spirit of Freedom” tour will be visiting The Whiting on Sunday, February 21 at 7:30pm.

Through music, dance, and telling narrative, the historical theme of the long struggle for Irish independence and self-determination is captured in this musical journey of courage, pride and determination.

Tickets range from $17 to $42 and student rush tickets are available the day of the performance for $12. To purchase tickets, visit TheWhiting.com or call 810- 237-7333. Tickets are also available for purchase at The Whiting’s Downtown Ticket Center at the Flint Farmers’ Market. Smart phone and tablet users can download The Whiting App to make purchases.
