or whatever its called. there was a million people there so i'm not sure what the buzz was about but at 20 bucks a pop, what the hell was there to do? buy over price defrosted food, jewelry, t-shirts, googled last name history, watch a band playing cover tunes. Anyway, never seen so many white folks happy over drinking beer and wearing skirts.

I don't know about anyone else, but I had a great time at the Celtic Festival Saturday.:
We had a great time also. Watching the different sporting events was fun, listening to the music, loved the parade of clans (I like bagpipes also!) and trying some crazy foods. We'll go again!

The definition of a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bag pipes but doesn't.
A Megadeth CD wouldn't dive the squirrels out of my attic, but a CD of bagpipe music sure did the trick.
I think a love of pipes is genetically encoded in people of celtic origins
I like bagpipe music. :shrug:
Not sure how anyone can say that $20 is too much for a full day of entertainment, including a number of bands (most Celtic traditional/dance and not bagpipes), parades, food, athletic events, exhibitions, and a zillion other things. But to each his own, I guess.

happy to be living
Having had to work that day, I feel I missed out on a good time. I saw the pictures and it looked like fun. Kudos to all the volunteers that made the day a success.
I love bagpipes and men in kilts, too.

I do too, that is why I have a CD of it, well and to annoy my coworkers.

My family makes it an annual tradition to attend the Celt Fest, and we have a great time. Bagpipes seem to be something that's either in your blood or not, and men in kilts are

Btw, no one has mentioned all the imported beer in addition to the other food, entertainment and crafts.

Celtic Fest is always good down here. Actually am going to the Annapolis Irish Fest this year to catch Albannach, not real sure why they are playing there, seems like they would have fit in better in a Celtic Festival, they are all Scotsman/woman. High energy drumming and and one bagpipe. This should get most people moving to the sound.

I love bagpipe music. USED to think I didn't care for it, but I now know it was because of a guy who used to play them (but not well at ALL!) across the neighborhood from where I lived in Italy. Geeez, the guy was bad!

When the Piper Bands all gather for the closing ceremony - it truly is a moving experience. If you sit on the ground, you can actually feel it!
And geez, there *are a TON of things to do for adults and for kids. Besides watching the adult Highland games, they have junior Highland games for the kids, Rugby games to watch,
hot and all the things Vrai mentioned. I volunteer every year, I love it. Some friends of mine are very involved, and I joined the CSSM and help with the Festival because of them. My kids have literally grown up at JPP and that Festival. They've volunteered each year, as well. We were welcomed with open arms that first year - we had just moved here April 2005 and even though we volunteered the whole day, I was able to have a fantastic time, along with my kids - who were all over the park and the festival - and were totally safe.

Speaking of men in kilts, my guy wore his family tartan (it was his uncle's) kilt and proposed to me in it Saturday.

You should call the police and report the guy who put the gun to your head and forced you to go.

I am so very blessed
As much as I love going to festivals, listening to music, seeing friends, etc., there is absolutely no way that I could ever in a thousand years go to the Celtic Festival.
My dislike - no, HATE - of bag pipes, is so great that I'd rather eat chicken shiat, clean out my closet, and put my tongue on a hot exhaust pipe than participate in that little bit of Hell.
I do believe that Satan is the one that originated the concept of bagpipes, and he is playing bagpipes in his little corner of the underworld.
