We are delighted to announce that the highly successful Pan Celtic International Festival is back in Carlow again this year and will take place from the 18th to the 22nd of April 2017 at a host of venues throughout Carlow town. The festival features celebrations in Celtic music, song, dance, sport, craft and food from the six participating nations – Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany (France), Cornwall and the Isle of Man.
In partnership with the Festival Organisers, Carlow Tourism will be arranging the “Celtic Taste of Carlow’. This is an indoor and outdoor market event hosting crafts and foods from around Ireland and from as many of the other participating nations as possible. The event will take place on in the area of the Potato Market/Liberty Tree and Kennedy Avenue in Carlow town on;
Saturday, 22nd April 2017 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Sunday, 23rd April 2017 12 noon – 6 p.m.
We are inviting you to participate on these two days to showcase, sell or provide a ‘taste’ of your crafts or food. This area of Carlow town should be well populated on these two days as there are a host of activities scheduled to take place.
