Events in Vancouver: Celtic Fest 2025
This week the city will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, so what better way to mark the occasion than Celtic Fest 2025! This is the 21st annual celebration and features events for everyone from kids to adults between March 7th and 17th.
Vancouver’s annual celebration of Celtic culture returns March 7-17th 2025. Every year CelticFest brings the local community together in a week-long festival celebration of Celtic culture culminating in a free, all-ages, outdoor, weekend festival in downtown Vancouver.
Over its 21 year history, CelticFest Vancouver has consistently delivered a rich cultural celebration of the Celtic nations’ kinship and community to thousands of festival goers. The organization aims to deliver education on global and local Celtic heritage, art and cultural traditions uniting Canada’s diverse cultures by merging local and international music, dance, spoken word, theater, film, art and crafts.
With events like the musical and theatre performances, the Family Zone, cooking demonstrations, comedy shows, Irish whiskey tastings, the Great Irish Soda Bread Bake-Off, movie screenings, and more, you’ll find something for every age group to enjoy.
The family zone in particular offers parents and families a home-base where kids can play, snack and meet with one another. Having free activities like games, colouring, crafts, face painting and children’s storytelling ensures the family friendly nature of the festival.
