“Yer aff yer heid” as the Scottish would say! “You’re crazy” if you miss this year’s Long Island Scottish Festival and Highland Games on Saturday, August 27th at Old Westbury Gardens. Now in its 60th year, the day will be jam-packed with competitions such as a caber toss for adults and children, shortbread contests, tug o’ war, and tossing the sheaf and putting the stone.
Direct from Scotland, primal pipe and drum band, Albannach, will headline the day’s entertainment acts, as well as performances by Celtic band Bangers and Mash. Highland and country dancers with pipe bands will perform throughout the day.
Kids will have tons of fun and activities such as children’s face painting, Crazy Carter Storytelling and Puppets, Moon Bounce, children’s joust, and kilt-making demonstrations.
“Old Westbury Gardens has hosted this event for over 20 years and we are thrilled to welcome it back once again,” said Nancy Costopulos, president and CEO of Old Westbury Gardens. “With the variety of activities, competitions, entertainment acts and vendors, the day will have something for everyone to enjoy!”
