The Sherwood Celtic Music Festival is a celebration of Celtic music, history and heritage.  Our particular event does not focus on a specific time period; rather, we celebrate the entire arc of Celtic history from ancient times to the present.

With over 20 bands playing Celtic-influenced music (traditional and modern), our very own Highland Games and many crafters here to show you their goods, we've got plenty to keep you busy during this high-energy event!  In addition to the above we offer dancing competitions, bagpipe competitions, harp circles and even a trivia challenge.  Many local chapters of Clans will be present in order to share their histories with you as well.

We hope you enjoy all we have in store for you at this 2nd Annual Sherwood Celtic Music Festival!  Use the nagivation bar above to learn more.

Musicians:

Téada

Blaggards
Brizeus
Clandestine
Cleghorn
