The One Spring Festival In Wyoming That’s Worthy Of Your Bucket List Every Year

Spring festivals in Wyoming include the extraordinary Cheyenne Celtic Festival. Wyoming is thought of as a fairly homogenous state, but the truth is there is culture everywhere you look! We're not just talking about Wild West and Indigenous traditions, either. Did you know that our capital city is host to one of the biggest and most fun Celtic Festivals in the country? Mark your calendars for June 8 and 9, 2024, because this is one of the best ways to celebrate spring in Wyoming.

This is the 18th year the Cheyenne Celtic Festival has been bringing an impressive cultural display to the Depot Plaza.

It's a must-see event for locals and tourists alike to visit Wyoming's capital, and to share in the rich heritage and customs.

Enjoy the haunting sound of the bagpipes and drums at one of the best Wyoming spring festivals.

And the colorful kilts are everywhere.

The music is one of the main draws of the festival, and it's so fun to get up, dance, stomp, and clap along.

Every year, a variety of bands come to the stage to play traditional Irish and Celtic tunes. There's nothing quite like it anywhere else in the region!

While you observe the festivities in the Depot Plaza and at Lions Park, you might find yourself asking "What the heck is even happening here?!"

We love to watch the sporting events, competitions, and contests that are truly unique.

That's a 56-pound weight hurtling through the air!

Of course, any festival of this sort features a whole lot of beer.

Try local brews and Celtic classics as you wander from vendor to vendor.

And visit the tents to see the historic clan displays which are part of a contest for Best Clan.

Join in as a participant or just observe and learn about the fascinating cultural games.

The Cheyenne Celtic Festival is a good time for everyone and one of the exciting things to do in Wyoming in spring.
