Water Valley Celtic Festival - 2024

The Water valley Celtic Festival is a one day annual event featuring 100+ performances of Celtic Folk Music. It has held since 1998 and continues to be the best value for your entertainment dollar. 

The annual Water Valley Celtic Festival is a one day lively and totally unique experience that features talent of all levels involving music, dance and stories performed by individuals and groups covering the range from amateur to professional level. This festival is patterned after the festival held at Feakle, Co. Clare, Ireland, which was the inspiration for the festival's founder Dave Settles.

The festival is designed to promote traditional Celtic material and local talent. The Calgary area has many fine festivals that promote imported talent and contemporary music. This festival is not designed to compete with other events but rather to add another dimension to the Celtic entertainment choices . . . . including comfort!! This event is all inside or weather protected by tents.
