What can you expect at Celtic Folk Festival Eelde?

We let the drums roll and bow the violins, because the Celtic Folk Festival Eelde is coming! We open the festival at 6:30 PM in the beautiful Dorpskerk. What follows is an evening full of music, dance and fun.

The party does not stop at the door of the church, because the entire center of Eelde takes part in this special day. There are four locations in total where you can enjoy our special line-up, where you can always watch something at two locations at the same time: just choose yourself! The most famous acts play several times. Your ticket gives access to all four venues where performances will take place.

The entire center is of course open for dinner. From special Celtic style menus to just a bite to eat and a drink, there is something for everyone. If you get hungry during the evening, you don't have to worry either. Even then there are several eateries open in the center where you can go for something tasty.

At the end of the evening we see who is still standing to jam in Boelens during a real session.

This is an evening you won't soon forget, so get your dancing shoes ready and join the partying crowd in Eelde. The Celtic Folk Festival Eelde is an experience that you want to experience with all your friends and family and you should therefore absolutely not miss it!
