Haven't been to either before . Bethlehem is at least free which has a certain appeal to this Scot (stereotypes be damned

).

Advice from previous event-goers would be much appreciated.

I have heard that the Celtic Classic at Bethlehem is quite an event. My wife and I were planning on attending this year. I am pretty sure that many xmarkers have attended in the past and will chime in with more detail.

I already hit the PA Ren Faire this summer for the Celtic Weekend which wasn't bad ... but it wasn't that great for such a high admission price. Bethlehem is free ... which appeals to me! After all, my Grandfather used to say that in Gaelic 'Mackay' was translated into "If it's free, I'll take two"

Well I have only been to the Celtic Classic (been going since 2000/2001). Here is a picture of the X-Marks rabble from 2007!

Without a doubt go to the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem. It's a rich celebration including music, highland games and food and beer. You won't be dissapointed. You'll spend more at the PaRenFaire and get less. That's more of a costume party.
