An Oregon Winter Highlight: Yachats Celtic Fest in November Published 10/24/2012 (Yachats, Oregon) – Tickets have already gone on sale for the massive Yachats Celtic Music Festival, now in its 11th year in the tiny Oregon coast village. Happening November 9 – 11, the three-day extravaganza boasts dozens of players and dancers in a blend of concerts, workshops and satellite events.
