WHY: The 3rd Annual Celtic Festival at Missoula’s Caras Park keep Celtic traditions alive and shares them with the community. Whatever your heritage, you can enjoy the nine hours of free traditional and modern music scheduled for the day. Groups such as the Celtic Pipe Band, Shining Thistle Pipe Band and Tra le Gael perform with modern Irish tunesmiths such as the Screaming Orphans and the Young Dubliners. The event also helps raise money for UM’s Irish Studies Program. But the highlight has to be the Irish road bowling competition near Florence. In the game, duos of players toss a 28-ounce “bullet” underhand down a course that is shy of a mile.
