About CCA

Since 1988 Celtic Cultural Alliance (CCA) has been hosting the Celtic Classic Highland Games and Festival in Bethlehem each September. This internationally known celebration of all things Celtic has been the foundation upon which CCA has been built.

The goal of this dedicated group was to create an event that symbolized the Celtic spirit and history, and to provide the impetus for an organization that focused on promoting the Celtic culture.

The CCA has expanded with year-round programming to support the mission of promoting and preserving Celtic Culture through arts, music, literature, dance, and history programs. In keeping with the spirit of “Next Generation”, the CCA also offers scholarships to promising young students of the Celtic Arts. These scholarships are offered to students including Irish Step Dance, Highland Dance, Fiddle, and Bagpipes.

It is only through the generosity of caring individuals and sponsors that the Celtic Cultural Alliance is able to achieve its mission of promoting and preserving the Celtic culture. This is done in many ways throughout the year, but none bigger than the annual Celtic Classic Highland Games & Festival.

The Celtic Classic is entering its 34th year as a FREE event that hosts the US National Highland Games Championships, 5 stages of continuous world class music, pipe band competitions, more than 60 Celtic merchants and a cultural ambiance second to none.

We are striving to keep the Celtic Classic the FREE event it has always been, and your contribution will help us achieve that. We were once asked, what if every person who visited the Celtic Classic donated $1.00?

Simply put, we would be able to keep the Celtic Classic a FREE event without an admission fee for a very long time. We will be able to continue to provide the level of entertainment and culture to the community for FREE that the Celtic Classic has been famous for.
