About Florida Keys Celtic Festival

The Florida Keys Celtic Festival features family-friendly Celtic rock and Traditional music, Irish & Scottish Dancing, captivating Pipes and Drums, and skilled sheepherding dogs. Families can enjoy the Children’s Glen with games, face painting and fun activities. We offer delicious Celtic (and Keys) foods and crafts vendors. Highland Athletics, the original Strongman sport, features a sanctioned Women’s Highland Athletics Competition on Saturday. For a wee bit of Sunday Funday, locals can participate in our “Try It” events to see if they can take on the Highland Games.
