Celtic Fest is back.

The annual Celtic celebration at the Museum of Surrey is returning March 25.

“This exciting signature event is full of activities for the entire family,” said Lynn Saffery, manager of the Museum of Surrey. “I’m so grateful that every year Surrey’s own Celtic community is happy and open to share their talents and stories about their rich heritage.”

A press release for the event notes performers, community partners, collectors and more from across the Lower Mainland will be on hand to celebrate all things Celtic.

There’ll also be live music and live performances. The Irish Fiddle Orchestra and the Steel School of Irish Dance, among others, will perform throughout the day. There will be a scavenger hunt for kids, along with arts and crafts, and other activities.

According to the release, attendees are “invited” to join the staff of Surrey Archives as they’ll be at the museum showcasing the history of Surrey’s early Irish families. Documents for the public to peruse will include both photos, maps and they’ll also be able to listen to oral histories.
