Held in Warwick, Queensland, CelticFest celebrates the Southern Downs’ rich Scottish and Irish heritage. The next biennial two-day event will be held on the King’s Birthday weekend in October 2027 at the Warwick Showgrounds.

CelticFest Warwick 2027 will include Highland Games heavy events, a full line-up of Scottish and Irish music, a bustling re-enactment village, thrilling pipe bands, Irish and Scottish dancing displays and workshops, Highland creatures including gorgeous Highland cows, Celtic-themed markets, a Saturday night ceilidh (bush-dance) and much, much more (all to be confirmed)! Traditional Scottish and Irish food and drink will be on offer too, including haggis pies, potato cakes, Guinness, cider and of course, whisky! Other food options will also be available.

Similar to CelticFest Warwick 2023 and 2025, the CelticFest organising committee expects that the local community and businesses will again support CelticFest Warwick 2027 with CelticFringe events held. The CelticFringe lineup will likely include heritage railway trips to Clifton on the Southern Downs Explorer, music performances at local venues including the Club Warwick RSL, tours of historic buildings in Warwick and surrounds, and music, language and art workshops.

Visitors will have to stay an extra night or two for the full CelticFest experience – come and #getyourcountrycelticon in Warwick and surrounds!
