The American-Scottish Foundation is delighted to update our members and friends on the most recent data we’ve been able to find on upcoming highland games, Celtic festivals and related events throughout North America. Scottish-American groups are enjoying this annual rite, and we are clearly well into the peak season; it’s time to enjoy one or many of these fun events near you, if you haven’t done so already. While there is an unusually long list of canceled events in this report, we have also included new events to attend. We hope that the weather cooperates this year better than it did last year at this time; hurricane season is just about to end for the year!
Please note the following events, with details always subject to change.
