Central Iowa Celtic
Festival & Highland Games
Urbandale,
Iowa
What is the Central Iowa
Celtic Festival? It is a way of celebrating Celtic culture and heritage. It
includes entertainment and exhibits related to other aspects of Scottish, Irish
and Welsh culture. If you or your ancestors immigrated from Scotland, Ireland,
Wales, The Isle of Man, Cornwall (Southwest England), Brittany (Northern France)
or Galicia (Northern Spain) then you are likely descended from the Celts. At
the festival you will see performances by Irish Step Dancers & Irish and
Scottish Bands.
