WE'RE BACK!!
After a one-year hiatus, CelticFest Vancouver is busy putting the wheels in motion for the 7th Annual Celtic Festival in downtown Vancouver, March 16 - 20, 2011.
We're planning 50+ live Celtic performances over five days featuring local and international Celtic recording artists, music workshops, champion step-dancers, the annual Whisky-tasting, film screenings, spoken word/theatre and much more. Our other production, the ever-popular St. Patrick's Day Parade, is scheduled to march the downtown Vancouver streets on Sunday, March 20.
On March 19 & 20, the Celtic Village & Street Market will be re-located back on Granville Street (between Georgia & Smithe Street).
The Village is the festival's big free weekend street fair where friends and family come together to enjoy Celtic food, fare, arts, crafts, purveyors and great live music and entertainment on the free performance stage.
CelticFest Vancouver is the proud recipient of the DVBIA’s 2007 Annual Appreciation Award and in 2005, was recognized with Vancouver’s BEST Special Event Award, by the Vancouver Board of Trade’s Spirit of Vancouver.
