Great weekend. Have to get there early. Got crowded fast. Enjoyed all the activities.

Fun experience! My only complaint is that the Highland Games was a bit unorganized. If a spectator wanted to watch specific events, there was no way to know what time to be there. That being said, it was my husband's first time competing and it was awesome how helpful and encouraging the more seasoned athletes were. We'd love to attend again next year!

So many excellent things to see! We enjoyed the bands, the fencing, the viking demo, the sheepdog demo, the vendors and clans!

Wonderful event! Very well organized and fun. The petting zoo was a huge hit with the kids and only cost $5/kid. They also had lots of cool Celtic vendors, two music stages, about 7 to 10 really good food trucks, and water bottles were only one dollar. No gouging or super inflated pricing. Entrance was only $5 and the parking was surprisingly well organized and free. There were about four parking attendants managing the parking when I was there. There was a large crowd, so you had to walk a ways to get to the festival but that is expected for such a popular and fun event. My only suggestion would be that they need to maybe add a few more kids activities like a bounce house, and I would also suggest that they have a rule that the food trucks put their generators behind the truck or behind some sort of wall or something. But overall a great experience!

As vendors, we truly love coming to the Sherman Celtic Festival and Highland Games every year! We have been coming since the very first year and have thoroughly enjoyed the experiences therein. All of the staff involved with the festival have always been very kind, caring, and concerned with our experiences as vendors. This year, I had to work later than expected and the lady stayed until we arrived to make sure we were able to set up Friday evening. The staff also stopped by several times over the weekend to make sure everything was going well. We appreciate the time and attention that they gave everyone. This is a wonderful festival to come to, whether as a guest or as a vendor. If you have never been, make sure to mark your calendar for next year and I'll see you there!!

Great family fun! This was our first time here and my family had an amazing time! There was a lot to do including Highland games, bagpipe competitions, sheep hearing demonstrations, Irish/Celtic dancing, sword fights, a parade, and so much more! There were many vendor booths selling handmade wares that were good quality with fair prices. There was a decent selection of food trucks with a good variety of food and drinks. In short, my family including the dogs, will be back next year!
