Our week at the Pan Celtic International Festival in Carlow was nothing short of incredible! Every year, this vibrant celebration of Celtic culture somehow manages to top the last!! From start to finish, it was filled with dancing, music, singing, laughter, learning, new friendships and of course, the occasional wee dram! The passion and hard work that go into making this festival so special never go unnoticed, and it’s something we’re all so grateful to be part of! 💜☘️

I’m so proud of our team of 5 dancers who attended this year, alongside their mums & (dad), they truly had the most unforgettable time! Some standout moments included performing at the opening ceremony with the Irish President in attendance! Also appearing live on a breakfast TV show, dancing with the fantastic ceilidh band at the Irishman’s, and hosting our own Highland dancing workshop at Dinn Rí. We also took part in ceilidhs, street busking, and proudly marched through Carlow in the Celtic Nations parade - rain and all!! 😂☔️

Representing Scotland in the Inter-Celtic dance competitions was another huge highlight. We were absolutely delighted to come away with three first places and two seconds! On top of that, the girls shone in the junior busking competition, bringing home another well-deserved first place! 🏆👏

Aoife McDonald – 1st place, Junior solos
Abbey Tait – 2nd place, Junior solos
Jaime Dima – 1st place, Adult solos
Group Dance – 2nd place
Invention Dance – 1st place
Busking Competition – 1st place

A massive thank you and well done to our beautiful talented dancers Jaime, Kirsten, Abbey, Chloe & Aoife for their commitment and incredible performances - they brought so much joy to everyone who watched them, they all danced with passion and pride and we couldn’t be prouder! A huge thank you to everyone who generously sponsored us and made this trip possible - we truly appreciate your kindness and support! Special thanks as well to our wonderful friends and brilliant pipers Ewen Henderson and Calum MacColl, and to the amazing Ríona Whyte, Megan Whyte, Bríde de Róiste, and the entire Pan Celtic team!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☘️
