The Big Easy Goes Green: New Orleans CSC Set To Host The Celtic Convention 2026

The story of New Orleans is one of resilience, pride, and true community spirit - perhaps more than any CSC we’ve had the privilege of speaking with. In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, the New Orleans CSC faced an enormous challenge. Their home at Finn McCool’s was left in ruins, and rebuilding meant starting almost from scratch. But where others might have faltered, this community came together. Driven by passion and powered by volunteers, they rebuilt, not just a venue, but a hub of identity and belonging. Against the odds, Finn McCool’s reopened its doors in time for St Patrick’s Day 2009, just six months later - a remarkable achievement and a testament to their spirit. We were delighted to sit down with two key figures, Lee Kelly and Sean Kennedy, to hear what the club truly means to them - and to share in their excitement as New Orleans prepares to host this year’s Celtic Convention. Running from 8th–14th June, the Convention promises an unforgettable week packed with special Celtic events for supporters from across the globe.
