Time to drum up some excitement — tickets for the 2025 Australian Celtic Festival are now on sale. Don’t be left marching to a different beat — secure yours before they’re snared! This is your golden pass to four days of music, culture, and unforgettable experiences from May 1st to 4th at the Australian Standing Stones National Celtic Monument in Glen Innes, New South Wales.

DATES & DEETS

Also available now are tickets to special events, including the spectacular Céad Míle Fáilte! 100,000 Welcomes Concert at the Glen Innes District Services Club and the ACF Eisteddfod at the Glen Innes Town Hall. That’s the same day the full festival program drops, packed with performer line-ups, maps, and exciting fringe events!

This year, the festival shines a spotlight on Brittany, Cornwall, and Wales while celebrating the enduring traditions of Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. Expect a thrilling mix of live performances, competitions, and hands-on cultural experiences. Across three stages, music and dance will set the festival alight, alongside Highland Games and Strongman events, Celtic Backhold Wrestling, jousting, re-enactment villages, and the crowd-favourite Celtic fashion parade.

Brand new for 2025, the Celtic Cauldron marquee will be a hub of activity all weekend, hosting instrumental and vocal workshops, language classes, storytelling, poetry, food talks, and spontaneous music sessions. Meanwhile, festival-goers can raise a glass at the Boar and Drum bar, sample gin, mead, and whiskey, or explore food trucks and market stalls.

Families won’t miss out either — the Celtic Kids Marquee will bring Arthurian and Celtic mythology to life through magical activities. 

Promising a weekend of great craic, this festival is not to be missed!
