Online applications are open now for performers, traders, clans, societies, buskers and volunteers wanting to be part of the 2025 Australian Celtic Festival in Glen Innes, New South Wales.

Just four months ago, Glen Innes experienced one of its biggest-ever Australian Celtic Festivals, with over 5,000 attendees taking part in the four-day celebration of Celtic heritage and culture.  

With planning well underway for the festival’s 33rd year, event organisers are calling for applications from anyone keen to be part of the annual festivities between Thursday, 1st May and Sunday, 4th May 2025.

“Whether you’re an accomplished (or aspiring) performer, a passionate clan or society, a live-action or re-enactment group, an interested stall-holder, a workshop presenter or an eager volunteer, there are so many ways that we can welcome your involvement,” Glen Innes Severn Council’s Tourism and Events Officer, Petar Grulovic, said. 

“As with every year of the Australian Celtic Festival, we hope to continue welcoming thousands of patrons to our iconic Festival site – the Australian Standing Stones National Celtic Monument – allowing them to experience an exciting and unique program of events and attractions.

“In 2025, we will be celebrating three proud Celtic Nations – Brittany, Cornwall and Wales – and we are very excited to welcome expressions of interest from a broad range of entertainers, societies and suppliers to successfully deliver this signature event for the Glen Innes region,” said Petar.
