Culture Tent

The Culture Tent offers two full days of programming from 9am-5pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

Music is a large part of the Celtic revival, but understanding the culture and history of the ancient Celts also is a big draw at the Highland Games. Presentation on the various aspects of that civilization are scheduled at the Culture Tent. Typical topics are culture, geneology, music, arts, clan histories, or specific Celtic events or personalities.
