Festival Internacional do Mundo Celta de Ortigueira
Ortigueira, Spain
Each July, the Galician coastal town of Ortigueira fills with the skirl of bagpipes for one of the world's great Celtic music festivals. Thousands camp on the beaches for four days of concerts by Galician and international folk artists, celebrating the deep Celtic roots this green corner of Spain shares with Ireland and Brittany.
The festival arose from Galicia's deep Celtic-rooted music tradition, showcasing bagpipes and folk dancing. It has become a gathering point for the Galician and broader Celtic community, reinforcing regional identity through music. It typically features Galician bagpipers (gaitas), folk bands and cultural workshops, reflecting the revival of native culture post-Franco.
