The Celtic Fest is coming up next month, and they have different events throughout the year as well.
Also you can go to many of the Irish/Celtic pubs which have great music and are also favorable places to wear a kilt.
Generally I get positive comments no matter where I am, the grocery store, shopping, whatever. Most of it comes from your own confidence.
Sometimes you you do need to grit your teeth when the insensitive comments do come, but there are far more good than bad.
Can you tell me anything bout the Celtic Fest? Recommend any Irish/Celtic pubs in the area? Thanks.I'd be grateful.

Kilted all year
I live in the PNW and am kilted daily. The exception is sailing, cycling and kayaking ( which is often since I am retired). The summer is when I wear the Mountain Hardwear light weight kilt or my Utilikilt.
Winter here is my favorite time, by then it is cool enough to wear the wool or pv kilts.
Kilted and comfortable in the PNW.

I'm in Canada and hoping to go full time kilted year round
I have now been in one of my various kilts daily for the last 12 days, and am looking at going year round kilted. If anyone has any suggestions for me to add I'd love to hear it

Generally, just keep at it, and adapt as needed. The biggest issues I've had with full time kilting have been:
1) The cold, but at least for the temperatures I was dealing with, this was solved by wearing hose. I already wore enough insulation up top to keep warm.
2) Sporran organization. My simple day sporrans have no internal organization. Everything piled in, which drove me nuts trying to fish out phone, keys or wallet. I built a small leather pouch, slapped hook and loop on the back of the pouch, and on the back inside my day sporrans, and it's just enough to keep everything in line and at hand.
3) Chaffing, this is by far the worst. On very active days I wear under-armour, and this helps a good bit. There are still some spots that need further attention, and I haven't yet found a good solution. This is exaggerated by high humidity (which we have had in abundance the last couple weeks.) Body Glide is next on my "to try" list.
But mostly, just enjoy.
