Our first attendance of the Melbourne Celtic Festival was in it’s opening year 2020 with limited capacity. To see the event in full flight this year was absolutely breathtaking. With its unique blend of world-class talent and a warm community vibe, Sue Foley and her team transformed The Mission to Seafarers into a lively hub of music and dance that we thoroughly enjoyed.

FreshPict event highlights

• Youthful trio Apolline in The Hall, delivered bold lead vocals, beautiful 3 part harmonies and energetic strings instrumentation.
• Hearing the highly skilled Melbourne Scottish Fiddlers rehearse in The Garden with coffees in hand from Dimmatina Coffee Cart.
• Mesmerising Chloe Matharu, accompanying herself on the harp in The Chapel.
• Foot-stomping Celtic trio Bhan Tre, tearing the roof off The Chapel.
• Delicious pies followed by the fluffiest festive cupcakes from The Wee Kitchen.

It’s a city music festival with a country feel. If you missed the main event, you can catch them on the road across Australia.
