The sound of bagpipes and sights of traditional dances celebrating Celtic backgrounds — including Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh — made the eighth-annual Celtic Festival come alive at Rockefeller Gardens and Fortunato Park.
Ormond Beach Mainstreet presented the event on Saturday, April 21, and Sunday, April 22. Thousands of visitors watched the march of the clans, Highland Games and Celtic music and dance performances as well as sampled food from local vendors.
