The Quechee Scottish Festival

Opening ceremoneies at the Quechee Scottish Festival


Quechee's Scottish Festival is an annual event, held on the Quechee Polo Field and usually towards the end of August.

Date for the 2009 Festival: August 22nd.

 

In 2007, the festival was in its 35th year. The most colorful attraction is the opening ceremony which normally takes place around noon. You will see massed pipe bands and everyone dressed to the "nines" in authentic Scottish costumes. Other events include the Vermont Sheep Dog Championship Trails, which go on most of the day, Scottish Arts and Crafts, Highland Dancing, Tossing the Caber and a Kilted Mile Race.
