Pipe Bands

The chart below will list the bands, their hometowns, the tartan of the kilts they'll be wearing at the Skagit Valley Highland Games, and their competition grade for our band contests as they become available (entry forms won't be out until April).  The highest grade is "1" - typically we have good representation across the class grades.

Clans

The colorful traditions of the Clans adds so much festivity to our Highland Games.  Upwards of 35 various Clans are expected this year, and we'll list them and provide links to respective webpages once a Clan registers.  We're very pleased to have our friends from the Clan MacKenzie serve as the host clan for the 2010 Skagit Valley Highland Games.  We welcome each and every Clan and Scottish/Irish organization that plays such an important part at our Festival.  Thanks to these people for helping us celebrate our culture and traditions!

Food Vendors 

Here is a list of this year's food vendors who have registered with us, and a brief description of the type of food they offer:

Merchandise Vendors

Merchandise vendors will be added, along with their websites as they register to attend the 2010 Skagit Valley Highland Games.

Celtic Farm 

The Celtic farm is always one of the most popular stops at our Highland Games, featuring interesting local animals - many with strong Scottish traditions.  The Highland Cattle display features the very attractive long red-haired beasties from the Highlands of Scotland.  To find out more here is a great website on Highland Cattle.

In addition to Highland Cattle, we're pleased to have SPOT (Saving Pets one-at-a-Time) join us, along with sheep and ponies.

Lang's Pony Farm will be there offering pony rides for little Highlanders all weekend.
