Kilt up and join us for a day full of Scottish culture, music and games! Hear the skirl of the bagpipes as you explore your heritage at the clan tents. Enjoy traditional and modern Celtic music with bands Emerald Accent, Cleghorn, Mandolin State, harpist Miriam Bennett and special guests, Grammy Award winning musicians, The Cox Family! Marvel at the quick feet of the Thistle Dancers & Pipers and the agility of the Jackson Irish Dancers as they perform Highland dance and jigs. Experience the fluid fusion of belly dance and rhythm from The Gems accompanied by the drumming of Logjam. Learn about history through the exhibits of our artisans and craftsmen. Cheer on your favorite champion at the Highland Games competition or enter your furry friend in the Dog Show. Come see which contestant can “down a pound” of haggis in the “Haggis-Eating Contest” while you enjoy Scottish foods, as well as traditional festival foods. Feel free to dance around the Maypole, and shop till you drop with our Celtic vendors. It's sure to be one giant Ceilidh (that's Scottish for party)! Tickets available online at our website or at the gate on festival day. $15 for adults ages 12 and up; $5 for ages 6 - 11; Free entry ages five and under.
