This three-day event, from 7 to 9 November, celebrates all things Celtic with a full program of live music, theatre, dancing, comedy, pipe bands and a street parade. The Celtic Festival is a diverse event with something to offer every age group.

Highlights of the 2008 program include a Gala Celtic Dinner to open the weekend on Friday evening and the Official Celtic concert to be held on Saturday evening. The concert evening will feature a night not to be missed, with live music, dance, comedy and a theatrical performance from the renowned Celtic group Braemar.

The theatrical production, Lochaber No More, will bring to life the history of the Jacobite Rebellion in narrative and song and promises to be another highlight of the packed weekend program.

Ticketed live music venues will be located throughout beautiful Beechworth in its historic hotels and halls, with a free chalkboard stage to be located in the heart of town.

This year’s street parade, a great event for families, will feature a host of pipe bands, dancers and other performances.

The Beechworth Celtic Festival is truly a festival of fun, entertainment and celebration in the celtic spirit. So put on your favourite kilt and get yourself up the hill to Beechworth this November to celebrate all things Celtic.
