St. Augustine, Florida, United States
This festival has been discontinued. Romanza-St. Augustine has announced the end of the St. Augustine Celtic Music & Heritage Festival and its St. Patrick Parade after 15 years. No future edition is scheduled in this record.
The organizer attributes the decision to the loss of state arts and culture grants since 2024, declining local-government support, difficulties obtaining U.S. work visas, and rising supply and labor costs.
