The experience
What's special
The South Jersey Celtic Festival and Highland Games is a two-day celebration of Celtic culture held each October at the Burlington County Fairgrounds in Columbus, New Jersey. Produced by the South Jersey Celtic Society with the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, it pairs a Highland Games athletics competition with Irish and Celtic music and dance, pipe and drum bands, whiskey tastings, craft beer, food trucks, axe throwing and Celtic merchants, and it welcomes families and dogs
Last time around
