Guinness Cincinnati Celtic Festival
E Freedom Way
Join us for fun-filled nights of live music, dancing, games, great food, and cold beverages, all with a Celtic flair.
Patrons can see performances from elite Celtic bands such as the Hitchhikers, Lost Celts, Dulahan, Rocky Creek, Fintan, Desmond & Duff and Bloody Tinth while enjoying an ice cold Guinness and filling up on bangers and mash.
In addition, a second, separate stage will feature shorter performances by local acts like the McGing Irish Dancers and Cincinnati Highland Dancers, and contests such as Celtic Idol and the ‘Reddest Hair.’
A Celtic Festival wouldn’t be complete without a nod to classic Celtic culture. The opening ceremony on Friday night will feature a performance from the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Glee Club with an appearance from Bill Cunningham, who is the 2024 honorary chairman.
Enjoy live music from your favorite Irish and Celtic bands all weekend long on two stages!
