2008 Elizabeth Celtic Festival
Frequently Asked Questions
(We don't always "think of everything," so we may need to change our answers. But, these are our current understandings or policies.)
Our Dates for 2008: Saturday and Sunday, July 19th and 20th -- The "Third Full Weekend of July"
Gates open to the public at 9:00 a.m., events start at 10:00 a.m. and continue throughout the day until around 5:00 p.m.
Saturday evening has two activities:
the Ceili (pronounced: "Kay-lee"--Irish Gaelic for "party" or "dance"), starting at 7:00 p.m. at the Pavilion Building (which we call "The Edinburgh Stage") at Casey Jones Park;
Also on Saturday evening at Dusk (around 8:30 p.m.), The Calling of the Clans torch-light ceremony (around 20 minutes, plus socializing after).
What are the Ticket Costs for 2008?
At the Gate: $10 for Adults (ages 18-64), $5 for Seniors (ages 65 & over), $5 for Teens (ages 13-17) and FREE for Children (ages 12 & under).
Sunday is Military Appreciation Day with current and former members of the Armed Forces (and their families) getting HALF OFF the ticket prices at the admission gate (must show government I.D.).
The Benefit BBQ on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. and the Ceili (Sat. Night Dance & Party) at 7:00 p.m. are free (free will offering).
Donations collected benefit the Elbert County CSU Alumni Scholarship Fund.
How much does Parking Cost?
$2 per car (per day). The main parking area entrance is located 200 yards north of Highway 86 on County Road 17. The main entrance
to Casey Jones Park will be closed to all vehicles (except emergency vehicles).
What about Handicapped Parking and Accesibility?
The forward-most parking lane in the main parking area will be reserved for Handicapped Parking. Enter the lot from County Road 17, just 200
yards north of Highway 86. A state handicapped parking permit is
required.
We are planning to provide a golf-cart ride from the main parking area up to the central level of the festival for anyone who,
for physical reasons, needs or wants it. The ground is undeveloped--that is, there are no sidewalks or paved paths, so wheel-chair bound
persons may (probably will) have difficulty. If you are in the Elizabeth area and considering coming to the Festival, and accesibility is a concern,
please contact us and we can try to meet with you ahead of time to see how we can make your coming to the Celtic Festival possible
and enjoyable.
What about Pets (Dogs, Cats, whatever) and Animals?
Only special exhibitors will be having Dogs. Please leave your pets at home. Our front gate workers will not allow anyone in bringing a dog,
except for Service dogs (which will be permitted). Please don't leave any pets in your car...it's quite hot in July.
Regarding exhibitors: The Festival is adding exhibits or other features involving animals (such as sheep, cattle, horses) which have a
connection to Scotland, Ireland, (and the British Isles in general) and other "Celtic" lands. Note the "Animals of the British Isles Arena"
on the map and as part of this website.
For more information, please contact Kathy Hallahan, 303-646-3271 email: kathlouise@yahoo.com
How can I help out at the Celtic Festival?
We need lots of cheerful people not only at on the Saturday and Sunday of the Celtic Festival, but also the day before to help set-up,
and especially on Sunday evening and Monday morning to do take-down/clean-up work. Volunteers get several modest perks, and can do many
different jobs (as time and your interest allows). Please see our "Volunteers Needed" section of this website for specific information.
For more information, please contact Alana Wolner, 303-646-5946 (M-F nights and any time Sat.) email: jwolneri@yahoo.com
Do you have to be Scottish, Irish, Welsh...or "Celtic" to come?
Anyone can attend the Elizabeth Celtic Festival. It's open to all. You don't have to be "anything." Just you.
Come and have fun. It'll probably be too hot to wear any wool kilts or sweaters or hats...so just dress comfortably and enjoy the day.
The food and beverages will feature both the usual (hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, BBQ, ice cream) and the unusual
(Scotch Eggs, Turkey Wings, shortbread). There are several organizations that would welcome you as a member, and you don't
need to prove anything to join, just have an interest (or be enthusiastic) in the group's purpose.
