In addition, the concerts will feature music by groups from European countries that are not of Celtic origin, including Poland, Latvia, Slovenia and Austria. We will offer improved reception facilities, public services, and more staff. We expect an increase in attendance of about 8-10 per cent. The festival is popular with people of all ages from around the world, with a large representation of youth between 18-35. In addition, through the internet and social forums, a genuine Montelago community has emerged, constantly participating in discussions on programs and services. In addition to the concerts, festival-goers can enjoy a Celtic craft market, thematic conferences, music, dance and traditional craft workshops, Celtic games, a rugby tournament, the art of divination, Celtic weddings, paragliding, horse-riding, and battle re-enactments.

It made us dream from an early age of ancient worlds populated by fantastic creatures, maidens, and knights with high human and spiritual values.Įvery year, the Montelago Celtic Festival attracts 20,000 people from across Italy and Europe through a philosophy of civil and joyful association, a rapport with the elements of nature, and the enjoyment of a healthy, carnival atmosphere based on dancing, social encounters, European identity, an awareness of history, and the best cultural values of man.
How, when and why did you get involved with the event?Įverything stems from our great passion for Celtic music and the crystal clear sounds of its acoustic instruments.
It is therefore quite appropriate for a Celtic festival to take place in the Marche on the Colfiorito plateau. There are many archaeological remains that bear witness to their presence: from the discovery of jewelry at Sassoferrato, in the central province of Ancona, to fortification ruins on the hilltops around Montelago and Colfiorito, where the festival is held. We are from the Marche region of central Italy, which, before the expansion of the Roman Empire, was a territory inhabited by Celtic tribes called Gauls. What is your own ethnic heritage/background. O rganizers Maurizio Serafini and Luciano Monceri describe the popular event that will be held August 2-4. Italy’s Montelago Celtic Festival has grown rapidly since it was founded 11 years ago.
