Celtic Spring Festival is a day of Celtic workshops and craft fair.

It originally started as an event for the Alaskan Scottish Club. They had an idea to bring together members of the community with a desire to share their knowledge and skills with the club. It has evolved today into a day-long event for all of South Central Alaska to participate. Celtic Spring Fest has workshops taught by our peers, focusing on lectures, craft items (make-and-takes), and physical activities.

Classes and Costs for Spring 2026
The workshops, lectures and activities that are offered during Celtic Fest are taught by our own community members who have an interest, skill or in some cases, extensive research on a particular subject related to our Celtic heritage. The classes have a small fee associated with them that goes to the instructor. Our vendors are open throughout the day. More about our classes.
