Four acts. One very good reason to spend Saturday, August 22 at the Gardens. ☘️🎶
The Long Island Celtic Festival & Highland Games is bringing a fantastic lineup to the main stage:
🎤 Andy Cooney — the “Irish Crooner,” bringing his classic Irish ballads and crowd-pleasing favorites.
🎻 Harpers Ferry — Long Island’s finest Irish-American folk band.
💃 Shot of Scotch — a professional dance troupe bringing the power, precision and excitement of Scottish dance to the stage.
🎶 The Chivalrous Crickets — playing music of the Celtic diaspora, with focuses on historical repertoire of Scotland and England, and Gaelic and Irish language song.
And that’s just the main stage. Add exciting Highland Games, students from area dance schools, food, trucks, kids’ activities and plenty of Celtic spirit, and you’ve got a full day ahead.
📅 Saturday, August 22, 8am to 5pm
🎟️ Discounted tickets available online until 11:59pm on August 19! Prices go up August 20. Get your tickets now at the link in our bio!
