Almonte Celtfest

July 3-5, 2026 | Gemmill Park

Almonte Celtfest is an annual cultural celebration of the Almonte (Mississippi Mills), Ottawa Valley, greater Ottawa region’s heritage through music, song, and dance, and is located in the rural community of Almonte. It is a three-day, by-donation event that features a schedule of presentations and activities in Gemmill Park and the downtown area.

Celtfest endeavours to explore and celebrate a wide variety of local culturally significant history and heritage by supporting culture and traditions that include, but are not limited to, the Scottish and Irish settlers, the Francophone community, and the Algonquin (Anishnaabeg) peoples.

The festival features a wide variety of performances, workshops, street performances, children’s activities, and concerts, and encourages impromptu sessions or ceilidhs. This year is a 30th anniversary celebration that promises to be an unforgettable experience! Join us July 3 – 5, in Almonte, Ontario.

Library After Dark Presents:

Suzie Vinnick

Tickets just went live! As a past guest of Library After Dark, we wanted to make sure you don’t miss out!

The Library After Dark fundraising concert series returns Saturday, July 18, to the Perth & District Library with a concert featuring Suzie Vinnick!

This summer event, offered in partnership with Stewart Park Festival, offers a chance for people who love music to see top notch artists in a unique, alternative space and support the Perth & District Library.

A Saskatoon native transplanted to the Niagara Region of Ontario, Roots and Blues singer and musician Suzie Vinnick is a 3X Juno Nominee, a 2X Canadian Folk Music Award winner, won a 2024 ECMA with her project A’Court, Spiegel and Vinnick and is a 12-time winner of the Maple Blues Award for songwriting, female vocalist, acoustic act and more. Suzie has a voice you’ve heard a thousand times and one you’ll never forget. It soars, it growls, it whispers and it shouts from a deep, deep well of emotion. The pure joy she exudes when she plays her guitars is so worth the show.

Doors open at 8:30 pm and music starts at 9:00 pm. There will be a cash bar, featuring a selection of wine and beer generously donated by the Perth Brewery.

Tickets are $30 and available for purchase online in advance at www.perthunionlibrary.ca/library-after-dark or at the door. A charitable receipt for $15 will be issued for each ticket.
