Come to the Faire! Now entering our 5th year! The Northeast South Dakota Celtic Faire and Games features a rich unique blend of the Celtic arts, sporting events, culture and agricultural demonstrations. Our goal is to educate the public on Celtic culture and its contribution and impact on our American society and culture. The Faire days are filled with activities such as concerts, music workshops, dance performances, dance instruction, heritage arts demonstrations, traditional Celtic sporting events, historical and genealogical experts and authors. Experience the music of a pipe band, the excitement of a ceili dance, the food and drink of the Celtic culture. Witness the determination of the caber toss contestants, the frustration of a mad road bowler, the laughter, and the cheers. Learn about clan history from the many clans and families gathered, or learn about traditional folk arts. Young or old, there are a variety of activities from the arts to athletics for you to participate in!
