Are you ready for our biggest night of the year? A Celtic Angels Christmas is just one night away!!! We do want to share a few details with you as you finalize your plans for the day. The lobby and box office will open at 6 p.m. We have a limited number of tickets available, and you will need a credit/debit card to purchase at the door. We'll open the house at 6:30 to allow plenty of time for you to find your seat. We do have free, onsite parking, and if that fills up, there are several lots within walking distance. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

If you get to Forsyth early, feel free to take a stroll downtown to enjoy a couple of special holiday events: Forsyth Main Street's Jingle & Mingle and the Candy Cane Crawl. If you're looking to grab a bite to eat, our friends at the Forsyth Convention & Visitors Bureau can point you in the right direction.

We can't wait to welcome you to an evening of Craic, Ceol agus Traidisiún (fun, music, tradition), featuring the Celtic Angels, the Celtic Knights and the Trinity Ensemble. It's going to be an amazing night!
