A reminder to all on Vancouver Island and those who may not have heard.
This next weekend, May 17 & 18, Victoria is holding it's 71st Highland Games.

This year the event has been expanded to a two day Festival.

On Sat. we will host a new part of the Games with Celtic Fest. All things Celtic and Irish in particular. Sheep dog trials, Sheep shearing, Spinning and weaving, Irish foods, step dancing and booths galore.

On Sun. will be the Heavy Events, Pipe Band competition, Scottish Dance Competition, The Massed Bands, Whiskey School, and Haggis galore (Haggis Dim Sum anyone?)

Freedom Kilts will be in attendance again and this year and we are expanding out booth to double it's usual size. We hope to highlight our new line of jewelry, t-shirts, and of course our Kilts.

This year we also have a new venue. Topaz Park on Blanshard instead of the usual place in Esquimalt.

This year we are ramping up our games in preparation for next years World Championship Heavy Games which will be held in Victoria.

So if you can come out and join us, this promises to be a very special event. You always know that the festival season is in full swing when Victoria hauls out its kilts and pipes for the Games.
