Festival Schedule 2012

It’s getting to be that time again. Festivals are starting to announce their 2012 dates so I will be adding more to this list regularly. The Festival Schedule page is always a work in progress. If you are on the staff of a Celtic or Irish Festival that includes music or on the staff of a music festival anywhere in the world please feel free to send us your info and we will add your event to this page. The festival page is one of our most popular and the 2011 page got almost 100,000 actual hits according to our server logs. We want it to be as complete as possible. There is no charge to be listed. Just click the contact us link in the header and send us your info and/or website URL.
