The Chesapeake Celtic Festival takes place on the wooded grounds of the Furnace Town Living History Museum. The bagpipe parade winds through the site of a nineteenth century industrial village. Stroll the Celtic Marketplace among the trees and watch strolling performers. Visit with artisans in the weaving house, print shop and other buildings. Enjoy music throughout the grounds and watch dancers and other performances on the outdoor main stage from informal hillside seating (bring a chair or ground cover).

This year I attended for my second year. Good music and food and we particularly enjoyed the Highlander Games. My only complaint was that I had to wait until 11 to buy a beer!

Two galleries, the Art LaMay Gallery and the Welcome Gallery, feature assorted changing exhibits. Both galleries are changed a few times each year, ensuring that there’s always something new to see!

Paying homage to the annual migrating Canada geese flying overhead, Easton closes colonial streets, decorates historic buildings with natural greens, and recruits 1,500 volunteers to greet 18,000 visitors and 400 of the nation’s finest wildlife artists, craftsmen and vendors with a ready smile and a helping hand. Excitement radiates throughout the town and neighboring St. Michaels, Oxford and Tilghman Island. Enjoy the 37th annual Festival, the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, fine restaurants, and quaint shops lining historic streets.
