The Flathead Celtic Festival is an organization dedicated to promoting, preserving, and exposing our community to Celtic culture for the educational benefit of the people in this region and its visitors. We provide education by providing locals and visitors to music, dance, history, ancestry, language, food, crafts, and traditional athletic events in public venues as well as utilizing the website to provide facts, statistics, and other related data on Celtic Nations.

We will be offering a large collection of traditionally crafted products including our small batch soaps and herbal salves, beeswax candles, wooden cutting boards/charcuterie boards, ceramics, knitwear, millspun yarn, and wool dryer balls and Montana wool dryer sheets. Amongst the offerings, we specially made a batch of Flathead Mint Soap along with Scottish Quaichs (double-handled shallow whiskey bowl) to honor our heritage during the Flathead Celtic Festival (Representing Clan Cumming, Mackay, Thompson, and Calvert).

2022’s Highlander Game Participants (Kyle is pictured in the back row towards the right).

Kyle has participated in the Highland Games for the past two years as a beginner (2020-2022). Here he is shown doing the sheaf toss, a traditional Scottish agricultural sport in which a pitchfork is used to hurl a 16# to 22# burlap sack stuffed with straw over a horizontal bar, which is raised to increase difficulty. One at a time, each player must turn their backs to the bar, build momentum by swinging the sheaf with the pitchfork, then hurl it over their shoulders over the bar. the sheaf must go over the bar to score, it cannot go under the bar or directly hit the bar.

Our friends, Ryan and Grace (local owners of Cranky Goose Hill Farm in Lakeside), surprised us at our booth last year with a bouquet of their homegrown flowers. They also participate in the Highland Games with Kyle, along with their son.
