Celtics celebrate their language, culture, and legacy over the course of five days of music, dance, storytelling, poetry, sports, crafts, and art during their yearly Easter celebration.
In addition to participants from all across Ireland, guests are anticipated from the Isle of Man, Wales, Scotland, Brittany, and Cornwall.
There will be 200 events on the schedule, most of which are free of charge. These events will include live performances by the Garda Band and Kilfenora Céilí Band, as well as exhibitions and a festival parade.
The Pan Celtic International Song Contest is one of the highlights, with six recently composed songs competing in a final on Thursday. Each song is in its own Celtic language.
