i've been to So. MD but it's been many years. that one is usually 3rd or 4th weekend in april. the second saturday in May (day before mother's day) is the Frederick Scottish Festival at the Urbanna <sp> fire dept. grounds. that one is fun. then the following saturday (usually same day as Preakness) there's FAIR HILL.....Colonial Highland Gathering, in Fair Hill, MD, although there may be some confusion on the location b/c it lists the contacts and address as Newark, DE but it does take place in cecil county, md. been to that one a number of times.....the massing of the bands is great at this one.
then in june is McHenry....never been. sept the Md Renn Faire/Fest has a scottish/celtic weekend. been to that a few times. rather expensive (both admission and wares) and more commercial than authentic.
october brings one in snow hill (never been so no critique) and Anne Arundel. i LOVE the anne arundel games. love the layout of the clan tents, the games on the athletic field, the animals in the barn area, the foods and vendors. love it all. BUT if it's been a heavy rain w/in a day or 2 prior, better bring 4WD vehicle. the parking can be/get quite muddy.
at this one, we usually take our cooler w/our favorite brews (and some H2O), our chairs-in-a-bag, sunglasses (you'll need them if it's a sunny day) and a blanket for the ground if we are on a hill. i usually just set it all up at our clan tent. (Clan Lindsay). if i'm feeling flush (with $$$), i'll also take some Macallan's 12 y/o w/us.
i hope you get there and enjoy the day! stop by clan lindsay!
