On September 19, 2026, Samuel Beckett’s Irish Gastro Pub hosts its annual Celtic Festival at the Village at Shirlington — and admission is free!

Live bands, pipers, and dancers fill the Village with traditional Irish music and dance, while a pop-up makers market lines the street with local vendors to browse. Plus, there’s great food and drink all afternoon long — this one’s for kids and kids-at-heart.

Campbell Ave. will be closed for the festivities, so you’re invited to Sip & Stroll your way through the festival and around the neighborhood at your own pace. With the street shut down for the day, allow a little extra time to park and plan to walk in.

Admission is free; preregistration is appreciated.
