Join us at GCV&M for an annual favorite – the Celtic Faire! From the Scottish Highlands, Emerald Isles, and rugged Welsh coastline to the Genesee Valley, Celtic traditions and roots run deep. Explore this rich culture at our pan-Celtic celebration of heritage music, dance, and authentic food and drink. Shop specialty vendors, see artisan demos, watch exciting Highland games, explore the Historic Village, find out about your family history at the clan booths, explore tartans in the John L. Wehle Gallery, and so much more.

The Strong invites guests ages 55+ to enjoy unique, educational presentations featuring the museum’s world-class collections and expert insights, with a 40-minute talk followed by a Q&A in the museum’s Paychex Theater. All presentations begin at 11 a.m. in the Paychex Theater. Tickets are $17 and include museum entry and access to the Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden. The Strong welcomes guests of all abilities and is committed to providing quality, accessible experiences. Most areas of the museum are wheelchair and walker accessible.
