Entertainment
The Wyoming Celtic Festival & Highland Games features exciting entertainment by Celtic bands, Bagpipers, Irish dancers and living historical groups. Our past performers have included such musical acts as Men of Worth, The Indulgers, Lalla Rookh, The Muses, and Gobs O'Phun, historical reenactment by The Renaissance Scots, pipebands from Gillette, Miles City and Billings, MT and traditional folk dancers. Meet Celtic animals like Highland Cattle & Sheep, Clydesdales, Shetland ponies and more. Participate in the fun by entering the Haggis Toss or Wellie Toss. Children's area with activities for the kids. Fun for the whole family!
Volunteers
The Wyoming Celtic Festival wouldn't be possible without the help of our legions of volunteers. Donate your time and enjoy a day in the park surrounded by Celtic atmosphere. We are always looking for interested people to run events, take tickets, coordinate activities, and keep the show going. Volunteers receive a t-shirt and a day of fun in the sun. We also welcome monetary and in-kind donations from interested sponsors. Contact the Director for more information.
