The 5th Annual Harbor Celtic Festival will be held August 24-25 2007 in Harbor Springs. This cultural heritage event is annual end of summer celebration to honor the namesake of Emmet County, Robert Emmet, as well as to provide a unique opportunity for the community to explore the rich cultural heritage and tradition that resulted from the movement of many Irish and Scottish immigrants to the United States and Northern Michigan. We will also be encouraging participants to explore the downtown area and to utilize the restaurant and shop facilities which are a short walk from the workshop area in Zorn Park. Some businesses will take the opportunity to feature an Irish or Celtic theme during the weekend.
