Believe it or not, Arizona has several Highland games events. We also have several bagpipe bands. The next event is the Tucson Celtic Festival. Sat Nov 7, and Sun Nov 8. My birthday is Nov 6, maybe I'll treat myself to this one. Phoenix has its annual "Arizona Scottish Gathering, and Highland Games," in March. Flagstaff has one every July. It is called the "Arizona Highland Celtic Festival." Also worth mentioning, is the annual AZ Renaissance Festival, from Jan to March. The group "Tartanic" has played here, for the past 11 or 12 years. Also, it seems like each time I return, I see more kilted folks walking around, and hear more celtic music being played, by musicians.
