Donegal Square
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is known as the Christmas City and is the home of many events and festivals including Celtic Classic in September and Christkindlemart in December. This little town has a strong European resemblance and a Celtic destination is located right in the center.
Donegal Square has a great collection of items from Ireland and Scotland and specializes in traditional knitwear, Celtic jewelry, custom tartans and more. Come pay them a visit in-store or online and feel like you crossed the Atlantic, especially when you go up to McCarthy’s Restaurant, Pub and Whiskey Bar.
Owner Neville Gardner moved here from Ireland and opened Donegal Square in the mid 80s and really brings the very best items from home. Growing up with Scottish/Irish heritage has resulted in a unique mix of products from Ireland and the British Isles.
One of their most recent original products invented in Bethlehem but produced in Scotland is their ‘Hope for Life Tartan’ - depicting ribbon colors from all the major cancers and contributing 25% of the sales back to Cancer Organizations.
Donegal Square will also help you “tie the knot” with kilt rentals, wedding bands, ribbons for hand-fasting, all the things to make your Celtic Wedding unique.
For more information on Donegal Square check out their website or visit their store at 534 Main Street Bethlehem, PA 18018. You can also follow them on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
