This 3 day event is held annually on the second weekend of November, in historic Beechworth, North East Victoria. We will celebrate our Celtic past, present and future. Our festival offers a wide ranging Celtic experience to delight young and old. This year, 2007, we are getting back to grass roots and hope to see some old and new faces in Beechworth at our festival.

Enjoy some of the many delights which this exciting Murray River town has to offer such as shopping, cafes, clubs, wineries and cellars, attractions and of course its paddle steamers. There may just be time to enjoy lunch at the fabulous Echuca Beechworth Bakery whilst stomping to the Blues.

WORLD RENOWNED SOPRANO AT BEECHWORTH
Australian Music Events is proud to present celebrated international soprano, YVONNE KENNY to Opera in the Alps 2008.

Staged on the picturesque grounds of La Trobe at Beechworth, Opera in the Alps has become firmly established as one of regional Victoria’s cultural highlights since its inception in 1996. Audience members can expect an evening of sensory delights as they enjoy favourites from opera and theatre under the stars and savour some of the region’s finest gourmet food and wine which are sold at outlets prior to the commencement of the concert.
