🏴 COULD YOU TOSS THE CABER?

Be honest.

A giant wooden pole.

A field full of people watching.

A kilt.

One chance.

Are you stepping up? 😂

👇 YES / ABSOLUTELY NOT

Then come watch the professionals make it look easy at Yosemite Celtic Festival.

📅 October 17–18 | Oakhurst, CA

The Yosemite Celtic Festival is built on community.

We want to take a moment to say a very heartfelt THANK YOU to The Rusty Piston for the incredible support they continue to give this festival.

Their team has gone above and beyond to help create parking for the Oakhurst Community Center, making sure festival guests have a safe, convenient place to leave their beloved cars while they spend the day enjoying everything the festival has to offer.

But their support goes far beyond parking.

Brook Allen has been at the planning table since the very beginning of the Yosemite Celtic Festival, helping shape, support and strengthen this event from its earliest days. That kind of commitment means more to us than we can properly put into words.

At the heart of this festival are the partnerships, friendships and community relationships that have formed around it. The Yosemite Celtic Festival simply would not be what it is today without the businesses, organizations and people who have stepped forward to help make it possible.

The Rusty Piston is a perfect example of what community partnership looks like.

To Brook and the entire Rusty Piston team: thank you for believing in this festival, for showing up, for helping solve problems, and for being part of its story from the beginning.

We are so grateful to have you beside us.

☘️ THANK YOU, RUSTY PISTON!

A festival like this is built by a community. 🍀

When you sit down for Tarts & Tea with Royalty, there’s a little local magic behind that experience too.

Yosemite Pie Company is helping us create a beautiful afternoon where guests can enjoy tea and tarts with the court of King James VI, make memories, and step into another piece of Celtic tradition.

It is exactly what we want the Yosemite Celtic Festival to be: local businesses, local leaders and cultural traditions coming together to create something memorable.

👑 Tarts & Tea with Royalty
🍰 Featuring Yosemite Pie Company
📅 October 17–18, 2026

Come experience the whole weekend.
