National Tartan Day

We are lucky here in NY. With all the festivities (although they are move back a wekk because of Easter) it feels like kilts are common garb for at least a few days any way.

Our St Andrew's Society will have a celebration for Tartan Day, I don't have all of the details on the event yet.

It is only the parade that has been pushed back to the 14th, the other activities are from March 31- April 8th.

True there are some independent events taking place at that time but the major events have mostly been moved to the parade weekend since that is when most people from out of town will be here for the parade.

The only major event, that I know of, that is happening the week before the parade is the Scottish Villiage in Grand Central Station. The organisers were unable to move the date due to conflicts otherwise they would have moved to the following week as well.

I would love to hear about any events that you know of on Tartan Day though so I can pass then along. Kind of gives us two Scottish weekends here in NY this year.
