Yachats Celtic Music Festival

Get ready for Craic agus Ceol which means fun and music. The 2024 Yachats Celtic Music Festival promises to be a delight for young and old. If you are not familiar with Celtic music, it is the grandparent of many of our American music genres.

The dates for this annual event are Nov. 8, 9, 10, 2024. This year the festival is presenting 20 different artists, performing solo and in bands. The festival atmosphere invites rare unique collaborations among the musicians.

The festival is continuing the popular daytime "pub style" format at the Commons. The doors open Friday at noon with free entertainment in the Commons. Enjoy three days of free, and ticket required concerts, workshops, jamming, dancing, vendors and whisky tasting. Celtic inspired food and beverages will be available in the Commons during the festivities. Five concerts will take place in the beautiful Yachats Community Presbyterian Church.

The "Church of the Agate Windows" located at 360 West 7th Street, is a short walk from the Commons. The village of Yachats embraces the festival and many shops and restaurants show their Celtic enthusiasm during the weekend. Experience the magic of watching the sunset at the edge of the earth , while listening to our 2024 'Piper on the Point' . The always popular Free Ceili dance, with lessons, returns again along with our Sunday closing concerts.
