Celtic Heritage Alliance a 501 (c) (3) organization continues its mission as a non-profit to promote and preserve Celtic culture and heritage through creation and development of Celtic cultural events, activities, and programs which facilitate education, workshops, musical performances and traditional competitions which include athletics, music and dance.
In June 2018, organizers of this group successfully brought the Newport Celtic Festival & Highland Games to McMinnville, Oregon which has brought together 1000's to celebrate the seven Celtic Nations of Brittany, Cornwall, Galicia, Ireland, Isle of Man, Scotland and Wales.
It was brought to life through the dedication of our incredible sponsors, teams of local volunteers, and strong community support whose common bond is a desire to share in their Celtic culture.
