The experience
What's special
CelticFest Mississippi is a Scottish and Irish heritage festival held each October at Bobby Cleveland Park on the Barnett Reservoir in Brandon, in its 35th year in 2026. The weekend pairs a Backyard-Rebellion-managed Scottish Highland heavy athletics competition with live Celtic bands, Scottish clans and family associations, a Sunday afternoon tea, scotch whisky and mead tastings, sheepdog demonstrations, falconry, Highland cattle and family activities
What people love
Visitors single out the music and the tastings, describing a festival packed with live Celtic bands and enjoying the afternoon tea experience, alongside the sheepdog demonstrations, meat pies and family-friendly atmosphere
Last time around
The 2025 edition ran at Lakeshore with a Masters World Championship in the heavy athletics alongside the usual Celtic music, clans, tastings and demonstrations
