The Four Corners region's premier event celebrating Celtic culture.

The Games

Athlete Registration

Everyone is encouraged to enter the Heavy Athletic Competition, but you must wear a kilt to compete! There are several classes where you can be matched with athletes of similar skill, weight, age and gender. Yes, women are encouraged to compete as well.

A great way to practice and learn is to meet up with the Four Corners Celtic Athletes that practice regularly here in Aztec!

Music & Dance

Music

From (bag) pipe and drum bands to Celtic rock, our festival features a variety of music rooted in Celtic traditions.  Our three stages have music and dance performances throughout the weekend.

The Lt. Shadd Rohwer Memorial Stage was named in honor of Farmington Fire Fighter Shadd Rohwer. He was an integral part of our event and our dear friend. He was responsible for running the logistics with skill and smile.

The Connie Gotsch Memorial Stage was named in honor of Connie Gotsch who was one of our founding performers. She delighted our attendees with her stories.
