Celtic Spring Fest

Celtic Spring Fest and 3-Barons Pair Up!

Contributed by Kevin Hall

As springtime approaches, Alaskans are once again faced with the dilemma of choosing between the many exciting and unique events that South Central has to offer. But this year, the decision just got easier. The Celtic Community of Alaska (CCA) and the 3 Barons Renaissance Fair are teaming up to bring you a day packed with fascinating workshops, history lessons, and hands-on activities that are sure to engage your imagination.

For more than 15 years, the Celtic Spring Festival has been the go-to celebration of the season with a Celtic twist. This year, we're raising the bar by collaborating with the 3 Barons Renaissance Fair to offer something new and truly special. In addition to our beloved Celtic traditions, we're opening the doors to workshops typically reserved for actors and vendors, allowing the public to immerse themselves in even more creative experiences.

Learn the secrets of ancient Celtic writing, try your hand at clog dancing, or explore the enchanting world of hobbit and faerie house-making. If you're curious about music, join us to discover a new instrument or even learn the art of “Ren” speak or stretch your imagination in our lively improv class. Plus, get insider tips from an award-winning filmmaker on how to shoot and edit videos for your YouTube channel.

Our goal is to educate and entertain in a way that celebrates both the arts and history while offering something for everyone—whether you’re drawn to the real or the fantastical, the serious or the whimsical.

Bring your friends, family, and a sense of adventure to travel through time with us! Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 29th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Betty Davis East High School. Tickets are available through Eventbrite, where you can also register for workshops in advance. For more details and the latest class offerings, visit akcelts.org.

Don't miss out on this day of cultural exploration and fun!
