Membership F.A.Q.
"What is the CHS and Why Should I Join?"
The mission of the Celtic Heritage Society (CHS) since its founding in Jackson, Mississippi,
in 1992, has been to study, promote, and preserve Celtic traditions and culture. This includes the music, dance,
history, language, literature, art, and other activities native to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall,
the Isle of Man, and Galicia. A related purpose of the CHS is to promote friendly association among its members.
CHS is the principal sponsor of Mississippi's annual CelticFest. Participation in CHS events and CHS membership
is open to all!
In addition to CelticFest, the CHS sponsors céilís (also spelled céilídh
and pronounced "kay-lee"...a Celtic celebration featuring Celtic music and dance), as well as informative
lectures and workshops on topics such as Irish dance, the Gaelic (Irish) language, etc. These events assist the
CHS to meet its mission of studying, promoting and preserving Celtic traditions. CHS functions are intentionally
family events--children are welcomed.
