Gaelic Language Workshop

Would you like to learn to speak the native language of your Celtic ancestors or have you ever just wanted to know what in the world Jamie was saying to Claire in your favorite episode of Outlander? If this is you, then you are in luck. We will be offering a FREE Gaelic Language Workshop to festival attendees interested in learning more about the original languages spoken in the Celtic nations. There are several dialects of the Gaelic language, some of which are still commonly spoken today.

Workshops take place in the Cultural Workshop tent Saturday and Sunday.
