Union County Celtic Festival 2024
Organizers put together an amazing one-day festival showcasing the music, food, and history of the Celtic culture in Union County. Festivities include a rugby tournament, Celtic dancing, cultural activities, and live music. The Canny Brothers Band, The Narrowbacks, and Callán all perform throughout the day. They even plan on hosting bagpipe and drumming contests. Additionally, food vendors and a beer garden (for the adults) help quench the thirsts and satisfy the appetites of festival-goers.
A few quick tips. Bring lawn chairs and/or blankets with you for your comfort. There will be no seating available for the concerts or demonstrations. This is a rain-or-shine event. So, check the weather report before you leave your house and dress appropriately. Only service animals allowed. Leave all other pets at home, please.
Organizers plan on performing security checks of all bags at the entry point to the festival. All bags must be clear and no bigger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″ in size. Small purses or bags (no larger than 4.5″ x 6.5″ do not need to be clear. If you bring bags outside of these parameters, you will be asked to leave them in your car.
Ticket Info
Tickets cost $15 for adults and $5 per child ages five to 12. All kids under age five get in for free with a paid adult. But that is only if you purchase your ticket online by the end of the day on September 6th. If you wait until the day of the event, adults must pay $20 per ticket. Organizers offer a discount for families. For $40, you get two adult and two children’s tickets. That saves you as much as $10.
