Central Illinois
Highland Games
Springfield, IL
The Springfield Highland Games and Celtic Festival is an
event of the St. Andrew's Society of Central Illinois. The Society is a 501(c)3
organization dedicated to keeping Celtic traditions alive. Our membership works
tirelessly to teach our culture to future generations and to educate the
community about all things Celtic. The Springfield Highland Games is just one
way we do that.
In addition to competitive events, the festival features many demonstrations
throughout the day. Rugby matches, storytelling, music, animal exhibits, a
large children's area, and much, much more. There are also several merchandise
and food vendors, many of which will be showcasing Scottish and Irish goods.

Renaissance Faire
Urbana, IL
At The Illinois Renaissance Festival, you can step back in time to
the 16th Century and relive history and traditions of long ago. This full scale,
live re-enactment experience is like no other. The Faire offers you a chance to
visit the days of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I.
There will be ribbons and flags waving in the wind, the sound of lutes, the lilt
of foreign accents, and the smells of exotic foods cooking, as well as artisans
hawking their wares, jugglers amusing you and the ribaldry of actors performing
on various stages. You'll see bold knights competing for the favor of Her
Majesty's Court and their lady's affection.
