Croydon’s Eastfield Park was buzzing with all thing is Celtic on Sunday 24 March as the annual Melbourne Highland Games and Celtic Festival returned to the outer eastern suburbs once again.
From Irish, Scottish and Highland dancing to the major attraction of the heavy games, all the action was met by big crowds, with people travelling far and wide for the only festival of its kind in Greater Melbourne.
Vintage cars, Clans and traditional craftmanship displays were set up across the park, while some typical Celtic foods were on offer for the brave.
This year’s gathering was particularly special for the State’s pipe bands, with the Victorian Pipe Band Championships held at the festival, seeing the best of the best compete for the title.
Journalist Tanya Steele was at the festival capturing all the action.
