I just returned from the Dayton Celtic Fest. I was there last night and part of this afternoon. The bands make up the main attraction. There are vendor tents including Utilikilt and Got-Kilt. I enjoyed the music of Gaelic Storm, Scythian, Fater, Son and Friends, and dancing by Celtic Academy of Irish Dance. On Friday night there were several attendees in kilts. Almost all were Utilikit. Today there was a little more variation. I wore my kilt from Celtic Corners with a black BOTK T-shirt.

From the comments it appears the event is growing each year. The weather was a little hot but the rain stayed north at least while I was there. The event closes at 11pm tonight. Open Sunday from noon until 6pm.

See the web site www.unitedirishofdayton.org for a complete schedule of the bands.
