Wyoming is thought of as a fairly homogenous state, but the truth is there is culture everywhere you look! We’re not just talking about Wild West and Indigenous traditions, either. Did you know that our capital city is host to one of the biggest and most fun Celtic Festivals in the country?

For years, the Cheyenne Celtic Festival has been bringing the luck of the Irish to the Depot Plaza, and it’s an event that’s a must-see for anyone who lives within driving distance of Wyoming’s capital.

You’ll see kilts and kilts and kilts everywhere you look, as performers and participants celebrate their Celtic heritage all day long.

The music is one of the main draws of the festival, and it’s so fun to get up, dance, stomp, and clap along.

Every year, a variety of bands come to the stage to play traditional Irish and Celtic tunes. There’s nothing quite like it anywhere else in the region!

While you observe the festivities in the Depot Plaza and at Lions Park, you might find yourself asking “what the heck is even happening here?!” The events include sporting events, competitions, and contents that are truly unique.

Of course, any Irish festival features a whole lot of beer. Try local brews and Celtic classics as you wander from vendor to vendor.
