We have purposely retained our traditional low-ticket prices in order to build an audience for the Leith Summer Festival, which continues to feature some of the finest artists performing today in Canada.
From CEILIDH to CHRISTMAS we present a menu of services, performances and activities that will provide a wonderful introduction to the outstanding acoustics and beauty of our heritage church and its surroundings.
Saturday July 22, 7 pm - 9 pm
This year's Historic Leith Church 'Highland Concert and CEILIDH' will feature The Great Canadian Fiddle Show
- The Great Canadian Fiddle Show preserves and celebrates Canada's rich
musical heritage through traditional fiddling and step dancing.
Visiting the breadth of Canada's diverse regional styles, the show
captivates audiences with energy and mastery.
Also joining us, we have the Celtic Dance Company of Owen Sound, and the Grey County Highlanders Pipe Band. A wonderful evening of roots music and dance awaits the audience.
Admission to the Leith Church 'Highland Concert and CEILIDH is free with
a collection taken for the continuing restoration and maintenance of
the church. This is an outdoor concert held on the church grounds at the
rear of the church, so bringing a blanket or portable chairs is
advised. In the event of rain, it will be held inside where seating is
limited to 180 persons.
