Festival 'the Celtic Summer': 100 years Celtic at UU!

It was 100 years ago this summer that the first research into Celtic languages and culture was conducted at UU. We're celebrating that with 'The Celtic Summer'.

Featuring lively Irish-Gaelic tunes and plenty of Celtic entertainment

The Celtic Summer kicks off on 31st June at Tivoli Vredenburg, where the Irish-speaking band IMLÉ will provide the official opening. The following day, you can relax and wander along the stalls in the courtyard of the University Library.
