Scottish Festival at First Presbyterian Church

Scottish Festival at First Presbyterian Church On the last weekend of October First Presbyterian Church hosts the annual Scottish Festival, composed of the Ceilidh and the Kirkin' o' Th' Tartan.

On the last weekend of October First Presbyterian Church hosts the annual Scottish Festival. This two-day festival is composed of the Ceilidh on Saturday and the Kirkin’ o’ Th’ Tartan on Sunday. The Ceilidh (pronounced KAY-lee) is a large community festival celebrating the Scottish heritage of the church. During the Ceilidh one can view a Highland Dance Competition, browse the bake sale for Scotti

sh shortbread, or enjoy a bite of traditional Scottish fare at the pub. Also at the Ceilidh is the raffle, silent auction, Kids’ Corner, and other vendors. On Reformation Sunday, the last Sunday in October, First Presbyterian Church hosts special worship services called The Kirkin’ o’ Th’ Tartan (which loosely translates to “Blessing of the Clans”). During this service representatives from each Scottish Clan in the Salt Lake Area presents their clan’s tartan to be blessed by the pastor. The service also features bagpipe music, celebratory hymns, and Psalms recited in Old Scots’ Tongue. Please join us for this great community festival celebrating our Scottish heritage! Admission is free and all events are open to the public.
