About the Festival
The Australian Celtic Festival is held over four days during the first week of May each year, with the next festival taking place from 1 to 4 May 2025.
Renowned as the premier Celtic event of New South Wales, it is the only festival in Australia to recognise different Celtic nations each year and has the unique atmosphere of being located at the Australian Standing Stones National Celtic Monument in Glen Innes.
In 2025, the festival will celebrate its 33rd year and highlight the Celtic nations of Brittany, Cornwall & Wales alongside the rich traditions of Ireland, Scotland & the Isle of Man.
In addition to a craicing good lineup of national and international music artists, the annual program includes pipe bands, dancers, markets, food and beverage stalls, competitions, official ceremonies, live-action performances and re-enactment groups, children’s entertainment, a host of fringe events around the region, and so much more!
Set in the New England High Country of Northern NSW, 4.5 hours’ drive from Brisbane and 7 hours from Sydney, vibrant autumn colours provide a picturesque backdrop for exploring and savouring the beauty of Glen Innes Highlands.
