A Celtic Christmas by A Taste of Ireland

A Taste of Ireland brings A Celtic Christmas to the Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center on Friday, December 4, at 7:30 PM. It's a holiday show that comes to St. Louis as part of the company's nationwide tour, so it's one of several stops they're making across the country this season.

The production is built around the A Taste of Ireland Company, which gathers Irish dancers and musicians from around the world. The set mixes melodic folk mash-ups, acapella tap battles, and storytelling into a full evening of entertainment. It's a variety show in the truest sense—you'll see the dancing and hear the music side by side, with the storytelling filling in the gaps between the numbers. The company describes it as a holiday spectacular, and it's designed as a complete night out rather than a short set.

Before it hit the road, A Celtic Christmas played Off-Broadway in New York and in London's West End, so the St. Louis stop is a touring version of a show that's already run in two of the biggest theater cities in the English-speaking world. That background explains the mix of elements—the folk music, the tap, and the storytelling are all part of the same production. The St. Louis date is one of many on their 2026 holiday tour, which is taking the show to stages across the country.

Tickets run from $39.61 to $96.36, and the show starts at 7:30 PM on Friday, December 4, at the Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center, 1 Touhill Circle, St. Louis, MO 63121.
