Holland Waterfront Celtic Festival & Highland Games return

Celebrating all things Celtic, the Holland Waterfront Celtic Festival & Highland Games is a celebration of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and other Celtic nations’ culture, music, dance, food, history, sports, and more.  Sponsored by Guinness and scheduled for June 20 & 21, 2025, the 4th annual event is bigger and better. Come see a full schedule of Highland Games with 60 athletes!

Listen to 19 performances by 18 live Celtic bands on two stages while enjoying a pint of Guinness (or a wee dram of whisky). Wander through the Scottish Clan village, watch a dozen Irish and Scottish dance performances, thrill at the bagpipes and drums, shop among Celtic vendors, visit the kid’s area, and enjoy Fish & Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, Scotch Eggs, and other Irish and Scottish foods, & explore your Celtic family history.
