Thank you all for an amazing festival!

The 2026 festival has come and gone, and we cannot thank you all enough for coming out and supporting the festival. This weekend has always been one of friendship and fun, and these last few days were no exception. We are still working to nail down the dates for the 2027 festival, so keep your eyes out for that. We look forward to seeing y’all soon!

Festival Office, Tickets and Passes, and Upcoming Weather Forecast

When you come to the Spanish Peaks Celtic Festival, remember to stop by the
Festival Office (127 W. Francisco St. in La Veta) and say hello to our
wonderful office staff. In the office you will find full programs and Celtic
Festival merchandise (t-shirts, pins, stickers, mugs, and artist CD’s). You
can also purchase tickets to workshops and demos. If you have purchased Full
Festival or Full Concert Passes, you will need to come by the office to pick
up your badges. Office hours are Wednesday 9-3 and Thursday through Saturday
9-4.

A word about the weather for the week: the forecast for the Spanish Peaks area
is very typical for fall! Temperatures are forecast to be in the low 70’s
for highs and low 50’s for lows. There is also a chance of much-needed rain
each day. The evenings will be cool, so you might want to bring appropriate
clothing. We look forward to seeing you later this week!

2026 Tickets Now Available Only Through Festival Office or at the Event!

I want to thank you all for such an outstanding response to this year’s
Festival. At this point in the weekend, we are no longer accepting on-line
ticket orders. You may, however, still purchase individual event tickets
(Workshops, Demonstrations, and Concerts) at the Festival Office (cash, check,
or charge) or directly at the event (cash only). We have tickets left for all
Demonstrations and Workshops and for the Friday and Saturday Night Concerts.
Tickets are going fast for the Sunday Afternoon Concert, so come into the
Festival Office for tickets and Artist Merchandise.

Update: In case of inclement weather, Friday Hooley is canceled

Hey folks, a typo with an earlier idea accidentally made it into the program, stating an alternate location in case of inclement weather for the free 6th St Hooley on Friday.  The Huerfano Community Center is not an option, as it is closed for floor refurbishment for the weekend.  Unfortunately, if the Hooley gets rained out this year, it’s just rained out, there is no alternate venue.  Let’s all keep our fingers crossed!
