St. Augustine Celtic Music and Heritage Festival

The sounds of the ancient Celtic peoples of Scotland and Ireland are as alive today as ever at the St. Augustine Celtic Music and Heritage Festiva! Find the CELT in YOU in Americas Oldest CELTIC City, as you take in the sights, sounds and tastes of centuries of European history. Celtic clans from around the world show their ancestral pride, Highland games athletes demonstrate their mind-boggling strength. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade marches through the streets of the Nation’s Oldest City’s Historic District, and vendors offer up Celtic cuisine and hand-made crafts. But the hands-down favorite of the St. Augustine Celtic festival is the music. Scottish and Irish bands playing both traditional tunes and modernized renditions of the ancient Celtic music appear live on stage throughout the two-day festival – arguably the best collaboration of Celtic artists assembled in the United States. We’re talking Seven Nations, Scots-born Albannach and Dublin City Ramblers just to name a few, attracting fans from throughout Florida as well as the 50 States and Canada – even Great Britain! Did you know that Celtic music had a profound impact on American bluegrass and country?
