Welcome to the 2nd Annual Carolina Celtic Music Festival, hosted by Fae Nectar Meadery on September 26th & 27th!
We’re honored to welcome the incredible Émigré as the official opening act for this year’s Carolina Celtic Music Festival! Taking the stage on the evening of Friday the 26th, Émigré will open the weekend with a powerful and poetic journey through the music of Ireland, Scotland, and the Celtic diaspora. Their richly layered sound—blending Scots-Gaelic ballads, Appalachian melodies, and dynamic fiddle tunes—makes them the perfect band to carry the first note of the festival.Following their performance, join us for a classic Irish Session, led by members of Émigré! All musicians familiar with the tradition are welcome to bring their instruments and jump into the magic as our guests enjoy the layered sounds of the community making music together.
We had a fantastic festival weekend last year, and we can’t wait to gather our friends from near and far to celebrate Celtic music and culture all over again! Join us in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains for a full weekend of merriment and mirth, with a rollicking evening on Friday the 26th to get us started, and a packed afternoon and evening performance schedule on Saturday the 27th, featuring returning favorites and new musical talent taking the stage in our gorgeous Great Hall.
Experience live performances from incredible regional artists (See
www.carolinacelticmusic.com for the latest announcements), a vibrant
Artisan Market filled with handcrafted treasures, soul-stirring
Irish sessions where the community comes together to create memorable music, and we’ll all dance together during the fan-favorite
Scottish Cèilidh as the sun sets behind the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Feast on delicious fare from our favorite Gaelic food trucks and our very own Tavern Kitchen, and raise a glass of Fae Nectar’s legendary mead as we celebrate the rich Celtic roots of Appalachia, and all the modern traditions inspired by them!
Mark your calendars, grab your weekend pass, and get ready for two unforgettable days of music, culture, and Celtic celebration!
