Celtic Illusion marks the long-awaited return of live entertainment (11 photos)

It’s been a long time coming for avid concertgoers, and after almost three years, audiences could once again enjoy the spectacle of in-person entertainment.

Celtic Illusion made their twelfth stop of their Canadian tour on Monday night at the GLF Memorial Gardens, displaying a fusion of modern Irish dancing and music with showstopping magic.

Hundreds of locals took in the spectacle as they enjoyed a variety of performance arts led by a cast of internationally acclaimed dancers.

Since premiering in 2011, Celtic Illusion has performed in front of sold-out crowds all across Australia, and recently completely sold out a tour in Canada.
