Celebrating 15 Years of Celtic Culture

Discover the legacy of an event that brought the music, traditions and spirit of Celtic culture to Florida’s Historic Coast. Founded in 2011, the St. Augustine Celtic Music & Heritage Festival welcomed residents and visitors to Francis Field for internationally acclaimed music, Scottish Highland Games, cultural exhibits, traditional food, whiskey tastings and family activities.

Throughout its run, the festival celebrated the heritage of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and other Celtic nations while highlighting a fascinating chapter of St. Augustine’s history. The Nation’s oldest cty is associated with the first recorded St. Patrick celebration in what is now the United States in 1600 and the first recorded St. Patrick procession in 1601.

The festival became a memorable part of St. Augustine’s cultural calendar through the work of its musicians, athletes, artisans, Celtic clans, sponsors, volunteers and attendees.
