Planning for our Highland Games and Celtic Festival is a year-round activity, and we think we’ve got some tremendous things in store for visitors this July 11-12. Check out our Featured Performers page to find out more about April Verch and her band, who will be headlining this year’s main stage entertainment lineup.

We’re really excited about another featured guest for this year’s event, Mr. David Western. David is a master wood carver who specializes in Lovespoon wood carvings (many of which are carved in a Celtic theme). You have to see these beautiful works of art to believe it! David will be at the Games both days to talk about his art, showcase many of his pieces, and do several hands-on demos.  Find out more and look at sample here.

Make your plans early for the weekend – our 15th annual Skagit Valley Highland Games held July 11-12 will be our biggest and best yet!
