Pacific Northwest Scottish Highland Games a Yearly Hit for 69 Years

Don your tartan and join the fun and excitement at the 69th Annual Pacific Northwest Scottish Highland Games & Clan Gathering as the Highland Weekend Kick Off events, July 24, 5:30 PM to 11 PM. The event takes place at the Expo Center, 45224 – 284th Avenue SE, Enumclaw, WA.

Thrill to the sounds of the Clan Gordon Pipe Band, the Northwest Junior Pipe Band and the Tacoma Scots Pipe Band as they perform first as individual units and then join together. A Scottish sing-along, under the direction of featured performer Carl Peterson, and the Rising of the Clans and Flaming Saltire will follow their performances. The evening is capped off by the Ceilidh, a traditional Scottish party with music, sing-alongs, stories and Scottish country dancing at the indoor Celtic Arts Showcase and Tilted Kilt Pub.

In the outdoor Rampant Lion Pub, the weekend piping competition begins with the special event, Donald MacRae Pub Piping. Your toes will be tapping as the sound of hornpipes and jigs fill the air. The party continues in the Rampant Lion Pub with a performance by BOWI Band to round out the evening.
