Everyone likes to eat and drink with friends, right? You and potentially hundreds of like-minded Dayton Celtic Festival fanatics will have your chance at monthly parties called “Celtic Crush.”

Come out on the first Tuesday evening of each month to a different pub in the Greater Dayton area, enjoy some great eats and a few pints with friends, and 20% of your tab will be donated to support the Dayton Celtic Festival.  All you have to do is bring along your co-workers, neighbors and family, and either wear your Dayton Celtic Festival t-shirt or mention Dayton Celtic Festival to your wait staff, and write ‘Dayton Celtic Festival’ on your bill.  There will be announcements about 2010 Festival happenings that those with a Celtic Crush will adore, as well as opportunities to get more involved.  Participants will also be helping out local pubs—true friends of the Festival—who can also use a little support themselves in these challenging times.
