The Hebrides Celtic Festival takes place in the town of Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. It returns every year in July to celebrate its culture. For several days, local and international music groups invade the town. The main concerts are held in the gardens of Lady Lever Park. Created in 1996, it protects and promotes the Gaelic heritage that is part of the heart of the Outer Hebrides. It is above all a cultural phenomenon for its community. It is one of the biggest Celtic events in the country.

This festival of traditional Scottish music and culture takes place on several sites on the Isle of Skye. Music, theater, dance, literature, entertainment (including shows for children) are featured. Through art and celebration, this festival raises awareness of the protection of the waters and coasts of Scotland and, more broadly, of the environment. It also wants to highlight Scottish music at the international level and promote the culture of the islands.
