### Thistlerock's Annual Beltane Festival

A Celtic Spring Celebration at the Farm
Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 | 2–10pm

When the ancient Celts lit their Beltane fires, they were welcoming the full bloom of spring — honoring the land, the animals, the community, and the joy of being alive. Come celebrate with us.

Nestled among the flowers and beehives of Thistlerock's regenerative farm, our Annual Beltane Festival is a full day of music, merriment, and magic for all ages. Whether you're a longtime devotee of Celtic tradition or just looking for an unforgettable spring afternoon, there's something here for everyone.

🎶 Live Music
An extraordinary lineup of Celtic and folk artists will fill the farm with sound all day long — featuring the atmospheric folk of Meridiane, the stirring pipes of Jess Ofgang & the Diaspora, the soulful storytelling of Blue Ridge bard Matthew O'Donnell, and the warm harmonies of Celtic folk duo Kinnfolk.
