Known for inventive arrangements and remarkable ensemble playing, Beoga has built a reputation as one of Ireland's most distinctive bands. Many listeners first encountered them through their collaborations with Ed Sheeran on “Galway Girl” and “Nancy Mulligan,” but their story stretches far beyond those recordings.

We're delighted to welcome Beoga back to Celtic Junction Arts Center on August 16.

Tickets are available now at https://celticjunction.org/events/beoga-in-concert-2026

Beoga last played Celtic Junction in 2014. Were you there? Let us know in the comments!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for You’ll See… last weekend at Celtic Junction Arts Center.

It was a joy to welcome audiences of all ages for this imaginative production from Ireland's Branar Theatre. We are grateful to Helen Gregg and the Branar team for bringing this remarkable production to St. Paul.

It was delightful to see audience members of all ages stay afterward to ask questions and take a closer look at the remarkable paper artwork. The pop-up book enchanted children and adults alike.

Thank you for helping us continue to make Celtic Junction the home for Irish theater in the Twin Cities.
