The annual Celtic Fest returns to Museum of Surrey on Saturday, March 7, from 1–4pm, inviting the public to celebrate Celtic culture through live music, dance, history, and hands-on family activities. This free, all-ages event brings together performers, community partners, and exhibitors from across the Lower Mainland for an afternoon of entertainment and cultural connection.

Celtic Fest will feature live performances throughout the day, including Steel School of Irish Dance, Langley Community Music School, and the Cedar Hills Caledonian Pipe Band, alongside arts and crafts, interactive activities, and community partner booths.

“Celtic Fest is an annual celebration that everyone can enjoy and participate in. From Irish dancing to fiddlers playing jigs, Celtic communities from around Surrey have highlighted their traditions and customs at Museum of Surrey for two decades,” said Lynn Saffery, Museum Manager.

Attendees are also invited to join Surrey Archives staff at the museum to discover the histories of Surrey’s early Irish families as documented in the archival collection, including photos, maps, oral histories and more.

While attending Celtic Fest, visitors are welcome to explore the galleries, including Our Connection to Hockey at the Feature Gallery, TD Explore Zone (children’s interactive gallery), and the Surrey Stories Gallery.
