Celtic Family Magazine was a special magazine that came out four times a year. It was based in Los Angeles, California, in the United States. This magazine was made for people who love Celtic culture and their families all around the world.

The magazine shared cool stories and articles about Celtic art, history, traditions, fun things to do, and how people live. Celtic Family Magazine was created by a company called A Raven Above Press. You could find it in print and online across North America and in some parts of the United Kingdom.

After being published for four years, the magazine announced in 2017 that it would take a break.
