About the National Tartan Day New York Committee
The National Tartan Day New York Committee was formed in 2002 by the Saint Andrew's Society of the State of New York, the New York Caledonian Club, and The American-Scottish Foundation®
to organize New York City's Tartan Day Parade, help perpetuate Tartan Day and coordinate Tartan Week activities. Other organizations such as the Clan Campbell Society and the Tartan Army are recent additions to the Committee. The Committee is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York.
About Tartan Day
In 1998, the US Congress designated April 6th as national "Tartan Day,” to celebrate the contributions to America by Scottish-Americans. The date is the anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath (1320), one of the first documents in the world to declare a right to freedom.
