Men in Kilts… Need We Say More?

Monterey Scottish GamesThe exchange rate is horrible, but you can visit Ireland and Scotland without ever leaving town August 6-7 at the 44th Annual Monterey Scottish Games & Celtic Festival at Toro Park between Monterey and Salinas on Highway 68.

Watch kilt-clad hunks throw trees (the “Caber Toss”) and heave 20 lb. boulders (the “Stone Put”). Then stroll through the “Avenue of Clans” to trace your ancestry – and invite your new found relatives to join you for food and drink from over 50 vendors.

The festival will feature live entertainment by Irish singer Seamus Kennedy, Celtic rock band “Brother,” Sligo Rags, and harpist Amy Krupski. 

From 9am to 5pm both days there will be activities for everyone:

  • Massed Pipe bands
  • Drum Major and Pipe band competitions
  • Highland and Irish step dancing
  • Sheepdog Herding demonstrations
  • Athletic Events & Scottish games for the kids
  • Historical Re-enactments

Then Have Yourself a Highland Fling:
