Bagpipes, fiddles, harps, and tin whistles are just a few of the magical instruments you’ll get a chance to hear by attending the 2026 Caloosahatchee Celtic Festival. Indeed, from Saturday, January 24, through Sunday, January 25, the downtown area comes alive with the sound of Celtic.
“This is the largest such festival in Southwest Florida. Celebrating its 22nd edition this year, the much-anticipated 2026 Caloosahatchee Celtic Festival will have a lot of old favorites and new flair, with a full weekend of Celtic vibes and heritage (including Guinness) planned,” says Brian Craig, the City of Fort Myers’ Special Events Manager.
The event will feature a first-time performance to the festival’s headliners! “We welcome the Celtic rock legends, the Young Dubliners. They have released nine albums to date, and are working on their 10th,” explains Craig. The band’s set will draw from all their albums and include unreleased new material.
