Past Years at Saline Celtic Festival
We had a great time at both the 2014 and 2015 Saline Celtic Festival as shown in the video below and in our 2014 review.
In 2014, my daughter’s highlights were the Wee Folks Island and watching the Highland Games. In 2015, the highlight was taking on the kids challenge course and taking a fencing lesson. At 9, she decided to skip the Wee Folks Island in favor of the other activities.
