Dill's Celtic Festival 2019

Celebrate the Celtic history and heritage of Central Pennsylvania at the second annual Dill's Celtic Festival on Saturday, April 13th, 2019. This family-friendly event will feature Celtic crafters, artisans, vendors of traditional foods and beverages, musicians, and dancers. Tickets are $10 per person, and free for children 12 and under. Online ticket sales end 48 hours before event date.

Over 275 years ago, Scots-Irish immigrants like the Dill family established homes, farms, and businesses in areas west of the Susquehanna River. Dill's Tavern is the epicenter of Matthew Dills American Dream, a 500-acre property purchased in 1742 that would see the gradual development of a thriving community. In the spirit of these early immigrant dreamers, we celebrate Scots-Irish heritage and culture.

Pets are not permitted except for service animals. Celtic Fest is sponsored by Dillsburg Area Business Association (DABA) and Northern York County Historical & Preservation Society (NYCHAPS).
