2022 Sparta Celtic Festival

The Fiddlers at Sparta Celtic Fest with Liam “the extra large” Leprechaun

This year at the Sparta Celtic we had some true Irish weather with some needed steady rain, unfortunately it came a day too soon, but that did not stop the Fiddlers or the Sparta Celtic Fest. The Fiddlers moved from main stage to the beverage tent so the Fiddlers and the audience could be dry.

It might have been a bit cooler and damp but it was a warm reception from Sparta. Thank you to the Sparta Celtic Fest for the invite once again and look forward to being back next year!

For more pictures and recorded live streams of the Sparta Celtic Fest see the Mona Shores Orchestra Facebook and Instagram pages.

Fiddlers at 2021 Sparta Celtic Fest

The Fiddlers were very excited to take to the stage at the 2021 Sparta Celtic Fest Saturday, August 14. It was great to back on stage in Sparta. Liam the XL Leprechaun extended our contract as the all time opening band so mark your calendars for August 12-13, 2022, for next year’s Sparta Celtic Fest.
