Celtic Music and Arts Festival

"America’s oldest city will boldly reassert its remarkable Spanish Celtic colonial roots and its strong Irish-Scottish heritage March 11 – 17 when St. Augustine celebrates its first Celtic Music and Arts Festival in the city’s historic district.
Presented by Romanza, in association with Meehan’s Irish Pub on Matanzas, and directed by internationally acclaimed guitarist and band leader Benny O’Carroll of County Kerry in Ireland.

The festival launches with a series of weekend concerts and a parade on March 12, followed by a week of traditional music performances hosted by Celtic Masters. The festival concludes with a celebration on St. Patrick’s Day in downtown St. Augustine.

“The festival is arguably the finest international collaboration of Celtic music and arts that the United States has ever seen,” said Albert Syeles, festival organizer. “Some of the greatest living musicians, artists, writers and poets from Ireland, the United States, and the Celtic region of Spain (birthplace of Pedro Menendez, St. Augustine’s founder) will converge in this wonderfully romantic city for a weeklong celebration to honor the great traditions of music, literature, dance and all things Celtic.”"
