The festival was held today (Saturday, May 27) and started with a great parade up Berry’s main street and into the showground.
Loads of people lined the streets to watch and cheer the parade.
At the Berry Showground people then got a rare treat when all the bands performed together.
The drummers also got into the beat of things and people loved their performance.
A troupe of knights, who looked like they had just come from as medieval battlefield, also staked out a spot on the showground.
The knights proved to be a happy bunch and they were looking forward to mixing with the public and talking about what they do.
The event was well run and credit must go to the Berry Rotary Club for staging yet another great festival.
This year’s event paid homage to Celtic nation The Isle of Man.
Funds raised on the day supports charities like CanAssist.
Groups like Zonta Berry, the Berry Showground Trust, Berry Chamber of Commerce and the Shoalhaven City Council all play roles in making the festival a success.
The event was packed with musical items, pipe bands, Celtic fiddlers, highland dancing, enchanted singing, and lots of Celtic merchandise stalls to view.
