The experience
What's special
The Michigan Celtic Festival, formerly the Saline Celtic Festival, is a two-day celebration of Celtic culture at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds near Saline, Michigan. More than 30 years on, it blends Highland games and caber tosses with pipe bands, Irish and Scottish dance, sheep-herding demonstrations, corgi races, cricket and hurling, historic reenactors and a Wee Folk children's area, giving it the feel of a Celtic festival crossed with a small-town fair
