Australian Celtic Festival

Renowned as the premier Celtic event of New South Wales, The Australian Celtic Festival is the only festival in Australia to recognise different Celtic nations each year and has the unique atmosphere of being located at the Australian Standing Stones National Celtic Monument in Glen Innes. In 2026, the festival will celebrate its 34th year and highlight the Celtic nation of Scotland. In addition to a craicing good lineup of national and international music artists, the annual program includes pipe bands, dancers, markets, food and beverage stalls, competitions, official ceremonies, live-action performances and re-enactment groups, children's entertainment, a host of fringe events around the region, and so much more! Set in the New England High Country of Northern NSW, 4.5 hours' drive from Brisbane and seven hours from Sydney, vibrant autumn colours provide a picturesque backdrop for exploring and savouring the beauty of Glen Innes Highlands. The Australian Celtic Festival is proudly brought to you by Glen Innes Severn Council and supported by the Australian Standing Stones Management Board.
