I recieved the following email from Tim Mangan from cincinnaticelticfest.com

Thank you for your support of the 2008 Cincinnati Celtic Festival. With your help, thousands of people in our community were able to enjoy wonderful music, dancing, food and drink along the riverfront. We could not have done it without you!



We have been considering our plan for 2009 and have decided that we will suspend the festival for 2009. We will bring the festival back in 2010. However, given the economic conditions of the day, we understand that this is a difficult year to ask our other stakeholders for financial commitments and sponsorships. We believe this one-year hiatus is the best way to position the festival for continued success in 2010 and beyond.



We are already working on plans to make the festival even better in 2010, so please stay in touch with us (www.cincinnaticelticfest.com). Once again, thank you for supporting the Cincinnati Celtic Festival!
