Brisbane Celtic Festival 2025

Experience the rich heritage and vibrant traditions of the Celtic Nations at the first-ever Brisbane Celtic Festival, a family-friendly event that promises to be a day of fun and cultural immersion. Set against the majestic backdrop of the Celtic Nations Monument in Moorlands Park, Auchenflower, this festival celebrates the unique culture of the eight Celtic Nations: Ireland, Isle of Man, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Asturias, and Galicia.

The festival offers a range of activities for all ages. Families can enjoy the rhythm and energy of live Irish music while being mesmerised by the graceful movements of Highland dancers. Little ones will have a blast participating in the Kids Celtic Games, including a fun kids caber toss that’s sure to bring out their competitive spirit.

A highlight of the day will be the Scottish country dancing performance, a captivating display of grace and liveliness that will delight both young and old. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the festival by wearing tartan clothing, kilts, or other Celtic attire to add a touch of authenticity and flair to the festivities.

Don’t miss this extraordinary celebration of Celtic culture, where music, dance, and tradition come together for an unforgettable day at the Brisbane Celtic Festival. Mark your calendars and bring the whole family for a day of fun and cultural discovery!
