Corvallis Celtic Festival 2023
Sunday, July 23
More free musical performances at multiple locations in downtown Corvallis.
Portland, Oregon family friendly music featuring Johnny Clay (The Dimes), Dave Gulick and Nat Johnson (Derby). With stylistic nods to 1970’s era Sesame Street, School House Rock, and “The Point” by Harry Nilsson, Ants Ants Ants recalls the best elements of a fun and fanciful childhood – the thrill of knocking down a tower of blocks; the fun of imagining what your dog is thinking; a make believe world where nocturnal animals meet in the park at night to play games.
Doors open at 2pm, show starts at 3pm
KIDS admission prices: Presale online $5, or at the Door day of $7
ADULTS admission prices: Presale online $10, or at the Door day of $15
