Chesapeake Celtic Festival
The 'Chesapeake Celtic Festival' will be the weekend of October 5 & 6. This festival bills itself as a celebration of the Celtic nations of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Isle of Man, Brittany and Asturias & Galicia (Spain). This year the entertainment includes the Ocean City, MD Pipe and Drum Band, IONA and Moch Pryderi, in addition to all the usual activities and events. Information can be found here.
This event is held at an outdoor living history museum called Furnace Town, near Snow Hill, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland (Delmarva) just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean or the Chesapeake Bay.
It's a lovely setting in the woods with various period buildings and a large, mid 1800's blast furnace on the river bank.
I got my first kilt from a vender (AmeriKilt) at this event about four years ago and, well... you all know what that started.
Susan and I have attended this event for several years now and are planning to attend again this year though not sure which day yet.
Hopefully we will see some of you there!

Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle. "The Last Highlander" Sara Fraser
