Summer BCMFest will open on July 2

The Boston area’s only winter-time Celtic festival will once again make a warm-weather appearance when Club Passim in Harvard Square hosts the third Summer BCMFest on July 2, with 12 hours of some of the best local Celtic music.

Summer BCMFest is tailored after the annual BCMFest (Boston’s Celtic Music Fest), a weekend gathering held each January to celebrate Greater Boston’s richness of music, song and dance from the Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton, and other Celtic traditions.

This year’s event will begin with a special edition of the Live Music Brunch series at Club Passim, which launched earlier this year, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.   Featuring traditional Irish music trio Daymark, the “Celtic Brunch” is an opportunity for diners to enjoy brunch accompanied by live music from the stage of the historic Cambridge listening room.

Tickets for the evening concert are $18 for the general public, $10 for Passim members and students. For reservations and other information, go to passim.org/bcmfest.

BCMFest is a program of Passim, a Cambridge-based non-profit seeking to build a vibrant music community through its legendary listening venue, music school, artist grants, and outreach initiatives.
