Celtic Music Festival @ Ocean Shores
Oct 18 all-day
Celtic Music Festival @ Ocean Shores

2016 will herald the 13th year of the Galway Bay’s Celtic Music Feis; celebrating Irish, Scottish, and Celtic  Music. From sessions to rock and everything in-between we have over 100 musicians who are a part of over 35 bands flooding Ocean Shores, WA with music, workshops and FUN for six days this October.

The Festival begins the evening of Tuesday, October 18, 2016 and lasts until Sunday, October 23, 2016. An eclectic mix of Irish bands, choirs and dancers hailing from throughout the United States, Canada and, of course, Ireland will be rounding out this year’s entertainment.

In addition to our own Celtic Imports Gift Shop we have an array of Celtic vendors in our vendor village inside the convention center.

There are a limited number of VIP tickets available so buying early is important for those of us who don’t want to miss the festivities at Galway Bay.
