Celtica Valle d'Aosta
The highest Celtic music, art, and culture festival 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 Celtic music, art, and culture festival 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 reenactments, 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 heart of the festival in Bosco del Peuterey, Celtica organizes widespread collateral events throughout the region: concerts, musical entertainment, and gastronomic events also involve Courmayeur, Aosta, and other municipalities and historic centers in Valle d'Aosta.
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 Valle d'Aosta Region promotes it as a major event, capable of uniting culture, nature, and tourism in an alpine setting of rare beauty.
