CelticFest Mississippi and the Celtic Heritage Society began in 1991 and was granted Non Profit 501(c)3 status. We have no paid staff and are 100% volunteer run. All of the revenue generated by memberships, sponsors, ticket & merchandise sales go to cover the expenses of the Festival and other events during the year, if revenue allows. Our mission is to promote & preserve the Cultural Arts & Athletics from the Celtic Nations of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Isle of Man, Cornwall and Galicia.
