The “Christmas in Washington” Concert Series, an eight-concert series features Geoffrey Castle’s annual Celtic Christmas Celebration, makes its stop on the Olympic Peninsula later this month.
The series hits the stage from 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 21, at the Field Arts and Events Hall, 201 W. Front St., Port Angeles. All ages are welcome.
For information and ticket purchases, visit ChristmasInWashington.com. Tickets are also available at the Field Arts and Events Hall box office.
The production features the showmanship of electric violinist Geoffrey Castle, complemented by the Seattle Irish Dance Company, the All-Star Celtic Night Band, Irish tenor and guitarist Dan Connolly, along with the “captivating” voice of former Miss Kirkland, Emily McIntosh.
The show also features a visit from Santa Claus (portrayed by Sequim’s own Mac MacDonald).

Castle has performed alongside members of supergroups such as Heart, Queen, Journey, Bad Company, YES, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Blues Traveler and others. A recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant for his cultural diversity and community outreach work, Castle’s 12 award-winning album releases can be heard through all major music streaming services.

“Christmas in Washington” is partnering with Castle in the creation of a live Celtic Christmas Concert CD, scheduled for international release in 2024; pre-release copies of “Geoffrey Castle’s Celtic Christmas ~ LIVE!” will be available to concertgoers while supplies last.
The concert series has expanded this year to performing arts centers in Yakima, Moses Lake, Lake Chelan, Omak, Wenatchee, Ellensburg and Kirkland and Port Angeles.
