Maine Celtic Celebration

The Maine Celtic Celebration is a family-friendly weekend that celebrates the rich culture and heritage of the Celtic nations, including Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, Isle of Man and Galicia.

The 2024 Celebration will be our 18th Annual event. New this year is the Celtic Nations Exhibit that is accessible at The Boathouse all weekend. You'll also find old favorites such as the Cheese Roll Championship, Heavy Games, Celtic Dog Show and lots of music! There are seisiúns each day in which musicians familiar with Trad Irish and Celtic tunes and songs are welcomed to sit in and play and/or sing.

The event is planned and run by volunteers who work tirelessly to provide the best in entertainment. We rely upon sponsors, grants and donors to raise the $40K+ needed each year to provide the quality entertainment and experiences that you've come to expect.
