Join Ormond MainStreet for its Spring Fling with a highland flair as the 12th annual Ormond Beach Celtic Festival returns to Rockefeller Gardens and Fortunato Park.

Clans, pipers and highland games athletes will gather on April 15 and 16 for two days of folk music, food and fun from the seven Celtic Nations and beyond. The festival occupies two downtown parks along the Halifax River and fills them with five music stages, highland games, clans and Celtic societies from throughout the region, as well as a host of other activities. 

Advance tickets are $12 each day for adults or $15 at the gate. Children 12 and under are admitted free. 

Tickets are available online at buytickets.at/ormondbeachmainstreet. There is free parking, including free off-site parking with a free shuttle service.

On Sunday, April 16, be sure to be there for the annual Dog Parade. All breeds are welcome. Bring a donation or food for Sophie’s Circle Dog Rescue and your dog will be entered in the parade.

Fortunato Park will be home to the Saturday Highland Games and Sunday’s sheep herding and athletic demonstrations. The Highland Games are sanctioned by the North American Scottish Games Athletics organization, so its competitors rack up points toward the ultimate goal of competing in Scotland.
