The Friday night pagan Fire & Light Procession, the Celtic Dinner and the Concert on Saturday night were reinstated in 2007 and will hopefully be on the agenda again.

The 2007 variety concert was great value, the audience saw a fine selection of internationally acclaimed performers: Braemar, Canberra Celtic Choir, Catherine Fraser & Duncan Smith, Eilean Mòr, Hazy Gates, Jenny M Thomas, Kathryn Clements, Miles to Go Trio, Mothers of Intention, Colin Mockett & the Beechworth Irish Dancers. Tickets for the Concert and Dinner will be available separately to the wristbands.

New for 2007 were the Behold the Bard poetry competition and the Art Exhibition by Brenda Grimshaw based on the Book of Kells. The Weaver Divas of Beechworth assisted in providing some hands on Celtic demonstrations.
