St. Augustine Celtic Music & Heritage Festival

Florida 2016

The St. Augustine Celtic Music & Heritage Festival is described as “arguably the finest collaboration of Celtic artists assembled in the United States!” And one of them in 2016 was ClanDonnell!

We were excited about St. Augustine, and would have been even if the festival organizers scheduled us under the stage at 4:00 am. But instead, we’re on stage for three 1/2 hour sets on Saturday and three more on Sunday.

The line up included some great bands, Highland Games, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and much, much more – from Friday, March 11th, through Sunday, March 13th.

A thunder storm and torrential downpour cut the festival short a few hours on Sunday. Otherwise, we had perfect weather and a perfect festival. Great music and great people, and we loved St. Augustine!


ClanDonnell’s storytelling generated buzz in St. Augustine. It was featured in Old City Life, St. Augustine’s Culture & Lifestyle Magazine, and in the national Examiner.com entertainment, news and lifestyle network, and at St. John’s Cultural Council website and newsletter, and in The St. Augustine Herald.
