Heritage Workshops
The Heritage Workshops are a popular FREE CelticFest series aimed at creating a contact point for Mississippians with various features of the Celtic cultures. Workshop topics change from year to year. This year's topics will include Gaelic Language, Irish Traditional Dance, and topics in traditional Celtic music.

Music Workshops
CelticFest regularly schedules FREE music workshops on various Celtic instruments, including flute, tinwhistle, fiddle, guitar, bodhran (Irish drum), and more. We also arrange for top-notch singing workshops, in English and Celtic languages. All workshops are held by CelticFest's headlining and regional performers. It's a great way to get some musical instruction from great musicians in an intimate setting!

Dance Workshops
While the dance workshops at CelticFest are always terriffic, this year's line-up is especially good! Maggie Cupples is coordinating all dance events at CelticFest for her first year. Building on the years of groundwork set by the irrepressible Mary Ann McGrath Swaim, TCRG, of New Orleans, Maggie has rounded up the following instructors for Celtic dancing (all in the same weekend!).
