Since 2011, the St. Augustine Celtic Music & Heritage Festival has been the hallmark of celebrating Celtic culture. Held at Francis Field in Historic Downtown St. Augustine on March 14-15.
It is North Florida’s premier celebration of all things Celtic, featuring Celtic rock bands from Ireland, Scotland, and Canada, traditional Scottish feats of strength at The Highland Games, an exclusive Whiskey Tasting event, an array of cultural activities, traditional food and beverage, Celtic-themed vendors, and interactive kids’ activities. This year’s headlining musical acts include Albannach, Syr, Steel City Rovers, Mudmen, The Druids, Gaêlica, and Celtic Conundrum. The St. Augustine Celtic Music & Heritage Festival kicks off with the popular St. Patrick Parade, recognized as the oldest in the country, first held in St. Augustine in 1601.
