Shirlington’s annual Irish transformation is returning this weekend for Celtic Festival 2025.
The event, led by Samuel Beckett’s Irish Gastro Pub at 2800 South Randolph Street, will bring live music, dancers, bagpipes and more to Campbell Avenue.
The free event is scheduled for noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday.
“Come enjoy traditional Irish music and dance, food and drinks, festivities, and a popup makers market,” an event listing says. “Campbell Avenue will be closed down for you to Sip & Stroll your way around Celtic Festival and the neighborhood.”
