Fáilte! Croeso! Dynnargh! Failt Erriu! Bienvenue! Benvidos! Welcome to the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Celtic Fling & Highland Games on the Grounds of Mount Hope Estate & Winery and the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire.

Throughout the centuries, the tradition and charm behind the music, dance and stories of the Celtic peoples have captivated the world. The contributions of the Irish, Scots Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Bretons, and Galecians/Asturians not only fill libraries and castles but also pubs, homes and our hearts. The Celtic Fling & Highland Games, as an unbridled celebration of Celtic Culture, offers a first-hand tour of these compelling cultures as it salutes both traditional and contemporary Celtic heritage.

We have a great line-up in store for you this year as the Fling just keeps getting better and better!
