The Almonte Celtfest team sends out a big thank you to the musicians, on the Gemmill park stage and busking downtown, the sponsors, festival partners, and volunteers whose generosity and hard work made the festival come together, and to everyone who spent time with us, singing, dancing and enjoying the festival.
We hope you enjoyed the shows and we’ll see you next year!
Almonte Celtfest Presents:
The Mudmen
with special guests Alex Kusturok
and the Bytown Sea Shanty Collective
Come celebrate opening night of the 29th edition of Almonte Celtfest! Starting at 7 pm, warm up your vocal chords in a singalong with the Bytown Sea Shanty Collective, a formidable Ottawa-based group that has seen 200+ attendees at their regular sing-alongs at Beyond the Pale and elsewhere. No need for music experience, the ability to read music, or perfection – all are welcomed and encouraged! Once everyone has gotten in the mood to make some noise, the Mudmen will grace our stage and rock you to your core. These Celtic Rock Warriors are a blast of energy and are known to be characters both on and off the stage – there’s bound to be all sorts craic!
