The Newport Celtic Festival & Highland Games is a registered DBA of the Celtic Heritage Alliance, Inc. and is a non-profit corporation whose mission is to promote and preserve Celtic culture and heritage through creation and development of Celtlic cultural events, activities, and programs which facilitate education, workshops, musical performances and traditional competitions which include athletics, music and dance.
Formed by the principal team of volunteer organizers who were responsible for organizing the first-ever Newport Celtic Festival & Highland Games in June 2011, the Celtic Heritage Alliance was officially incorporated on July 15, 2011 as a result of its team members unanimous vote to form a separate non-profit corporation which is a means for providing more timely, efficient and effective management of the festival. The corporation also provides a formal platform for promoting additional Celtic heritage events on a year round basis.
We believe in transparency. Our corporate documents can be found here:
State of Oregon Non-Profit Corporation Filing*

* We are a registered non-profit in the State of Oregon and have submitted the required documents to apply for tax Exempt status under 501(c)3.
We count on community support to make this event possible. If you would like to continue to help the Celtic Heritage Alliance accomplish its mission, you can donate your time as a volunteer, or donate funds by clicking on the "donate" button.
