Traditional Celtic music, authentic dance, and educational workshops abound in the 11th Annual Northeast Louisiana Celtic Festival.

"We're celebrating 11 years of music, dance, and storytelling," says festival founder Doyle Jeter.  "This year, a special event we're hosting is a rugby exhibition on the festival grounds."

The festival is a family-fun event with special attractions for children throughout the day.  

Gates open at 10 a.m. at Kiroli Park.  Festival activities are free, however, there is a 50-cent per person admission to the park.
