The Bitterroot Scottish Irish Festival is a community based event
with the primary mission to promote education, awareness, and
pride in our local heritage and history. Nationally sanctioned
competitions for Highland games, Highland dancing, and
Pipe & Drum bands draw world-class competitors from
far and wide. Approximately 3000 festival attendees and
over 500 participants from outside the Bitterroot Valley
attended the 2010 festival for these judged competitions.
Representatives from Scottish and Irish clans, as well as
vendors specializing in hand-crafted wares, regional music
and foods offer many opportunities to share stories and fi nd
out more about the rich history we all share.
The festival is held on the Daly Mansion Grounds, which
serves as an ideal outdoor venue. There is something for
everyone at this fun, lively family event, as it presents a
unique refl ection of all who call the Bitterroot Valley “home’.
We invite you to participate in this year’s festival -- bring
the entire family for a fun day of warm camaraderie and a
shared sense of kinship!
