The Saline Celtic Festival began as a result of the Sister City relationship between Saline, Michigan and Brecon Wales. It is a volunteer organization Area residents are invited to become part of the organizational and volunteer efforts of the festival.

Brecon History
It is thought that several earlier churches will have existed on the ancient site where Brecon Cathedral now stands. In 1093 after capturing the Welsh kingdom of Brecheiniog, the Norman lord of the Marches Bernard de Neufmarche gave orders for a priory to be built on the site. The priory was dedicated to St. John the Evangelist and in 1106, the first prior was a monk named Walter. After the dissolution of monasteries by Henry VIII, the priory became a parish church and much later in the 1920s the church became designated a cathedral.
