For one fun-filled weekend in November, the shores of Ladybird Lake are transformed into a distant land with the sounds of fiddles and accordions filling the air, the smells of delicious food dancing in the wind and a sea of plaid around every corner.

Owners of new homes in Austin who are looking for a fun and interesting weekend event should make sure to check out the Austin Celtic Festival Nov. 6 and 7 at the Fiesta Gardens from noon to 7:30 p.m.

Whether you want to celebrate your heritage or you’re just looking for a family-friendly activity, the Austin Celtic Festival will have enough entertainment to satisfy everyone. Some of the day’s events include dance performances and free dance workshops, Highland Games and Celtic Sports, the Viking Invasion reenactment, musical performances by 14 artists and groups and both paid master-instructed and free beginner workshops taught by the ACF School of Traditional Arts.

Tickets for the Austin Celtic Festival are $12 per day if purchased online. Or purchase your ticket at the gate for $15. For an added value, purchase a weekend pass online for $20. Children 12 years old and under attend the event for free.
