The highest international festival of Celtic music, art and culture in Europe, in the woods at the foot of Mont Blanc
About Celtica
Celtic Magic at the Foot of Mont Blanc
Celtica Valle d'Aosta is the highest international festival of Celtic music, art, and culture in Europe. It takes place in the Bosco del Peuterey, in Val Veny, in the Municipality of Courmayeur, where the larch forest at the foot of Mont Blanc becomes the natural setting for a unique event.
Four Days of Total Immersion
The festival offers concerts of Celtic music with international artists, historical re-enactments, dance workshops, conferences, labs, children's areas, and craft markets. To complete the experience, there are tastings of local products and nature walks along the valley's trails. The atmosphere, immersed in the woods and accompanied by music, is the true heart of the event.
Not Just Val Veny
Alongside the festival's core in Bosco del Peuterey, Celtica organizes spread-out side events throughout the region: concerts, musical entertainment, and gastronomic events also involve Courmayeur, Aosta, and other Municipalities and historic centers in the Aosta Valley.
A Thirty-Year Tradition
Born in the 1990s, Celtica has become one of the most anticipated events of the Aosta Valley summer and an international reference point for the Celtic world. The Aosta Valley Region promotes it as a major event, capable of uniting culture, nature, and tourism in an alpine setting of rare beauty.
