Celtic Festival Permanently Canceled
I've been warning about this for the past year on this very subreddit, and it has officially come to be. I want to make sure that everyone is aware of one thing the news doesn't delve into:
This is 100% the fault of the Republican Party's culture war and Ron DeSantis. In order to prevent "gay" things from happening, he vetoed state wide cultural grants that allowed this festival (and numerous others in town) to occur. The amazing out of country Celtic bands are having trouble from getting visas thanks to the federal government's agenda. Not just that, but some have refused to come to this country because they're afraid of being arrested and deported by ICE if they have scheduling issues (common in traveling bands) or say the wrong thing to the wrong person.
In other words, if you voted for Ron Desantis and/or Donald Trump, this is your fault. Not solely your fault, but it is your fault.
