 On Saturday, April 5, 2008, New York City will celebrate the Tenth Annual New York City Tartan Day Parade. Thousands of pipers, drummers, clans and Scottish organizations will march up Sixth Avenue in recognition of the Declaration of Arbroath and National Tartan Day.
Online registration for the parade is free and easy at: www.tartanweek.com
In keeping with tradition, we have been busy planning a full week of Tartan Week activities, including the famous pre-parade Ceilidh on Friday evening, a Tartan Week Cocktail Party, the Parade morning Kirking of the Tartan, and of course the Post Parade Party that will again be held at Stout NYC. We encourage you to visit www.tartanweek.com for more information on Tartan Week activities, as we frequently update the site. The National Tartan Day New York Committee wishes you warm holiday greetings and hopes to see the familiar faces and welcomes new friends on April 5, 2008.
About the National Tartan Day New York Committee
The New York City Tartan Day Parade is proudly and solely organized exclusively by the all-volunteer National Tartan Day New York Committee. The National Tartan Day New York Committee is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York. The Committee was created in 2002 in order to organize New York City's Tartan Day Parade, help perpetuate Tartan Day and coordinate New York's Tartan Week activities. The Committee was founded by three New York based Scottish organizations: Saint Andrew's Society of the State of New York, 1756, New York Caledonian Club, 1856, and American Scottish Foundation, 1956. Three additional organizations, Clan Campbell Society, the New York Police Pipes and Drums and the New York Tartan Army were later additions to the Committee. The Committee is grateful for the collaboration and efforts of Epic Concepts of Edinburgh who helped develop New York's Tartan Day Parade.
