The Celtic Heritage Society was founded in Jackson, Mississippi in May 1992. We are a 501(c)3 Federally Tax Exempt civic and educational nonprofit organization focused on the study, promotion, and preservation of Celtic traditions and culture. This includes music, dance, history, language, literature, art and other activities native to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, and the Isle of Man.
All CHS Board members & Directors of CelticFest Mississippi are dues paying Members and Volunteers who receive no monetary compensation.
The term “Celts” refers to tribes of people that shared similar traditions, customs, language, and culture and dominated Western Europe from as far back as 1200 B.C.
Much of this unique cultural heritage still exists today all over the world where people celebrate and remain passionate about their Celtic roots.
Annual Membership in the Celtic Heritage Society runs from January to December and is $25.
Your membership card serves as your weekend admission ticket to the 2025 Festival the second weekend in October. It will be mailed to you up until October 1st. No Memberships accepted after this date due to…CelticFest when we’re super busy!
