Friday, June 25, gates open at 5pm on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, kick off the annual Celtic Fling & Highland Games with a dose of high-energy Celtic rock you can dance the night away to at the Friday Night Concert. Throughout the evening, fabulous foods and brews are available at the Swashbuckler Brew Pub. Admission price is $19.95 per adult and $9.95 per child(ages 5 – 11).
Saturday and Sunday, June 26 and 27, 11am–10pm for one weekend in late June each year, Lancaster County’s Amish Country becomes the Celtic Capital of the United States as 100s of musicians, dancers, craftsmen, Scottish clans, Irish societies and rugged athletes from across North America and Europe gather for the Celtic Fling & Highland Games. The Faire’s 35 acres will be covered in kilts, cabers, officially sanctioned Irish Dance and Highland Games competitions, border collie sheepherding, and Celtic crafts, food and music. Each festival day features over 50 musical sets, competitions and demonstrations. Admission price is $25.95 per adult and $9.95 per child.
