Maine Celtic Celebration

10/17/2026

From today until October 30, if you are a member of the Belfast CO OP, you have the opportunity to vote for us and 11 other local non-profit organizations to receive "Common Cents". Each month shoppers are asked if they would like to "round up" their check-out amount to the next dollar. Sometimes it is a few pennies and sometimes it is as much as 90 some cents... But at the end of the month, it is a big check! We are so grateful to all of our sponsors and to all of those who donate to the Celebration, and our costs are rising. We have a serious commitment to keeping the 3 day celebration open to all who want to attend and to increase joy in everyone's lives. This is a wonderful opportunity to help with that goal, but, we need your help. Please include the Maine Celtic Celebration as one of the 12 organization to receive your vote. And if you are not a CO-OP member, maybe now is a good time to join.
