Bellingham Scottish Gathering

The gathering is a full day celebrating the magnificent and colorful culture of Scotland. Features include Celtic musicians, competitive Highland dancing, storytelling, Clan booths, vendors and a visit by a majestic Clydesdale horse – Scotland’s gentle giant. 

The first-ever 'Fabric & Fiber of Scotland Contest' showcases items constructed with yarn, tartan or tweed of Scottish origin. 

Musicians include local Celtic bands: Ladies of Lindsay and The Moving Hats. Dancing events feature the traditional Highland Fling and Sword Dance, national dances of Scotland and Sailors’ Hornpipes. 

Beautiful Marine Park is surrounded by the Salish Sea and mirrors Scotland’s dramatic coastal vistas and harbor operations. The park is easy to find - less than a minute from I-5 and the Peace Arch border crossing into Canada. 

The 7th Annual Bellingham Scottish Gathering is a perfect outdoor event for all ages and is educational and full of fun!
