We're hosting an online silent auction to help raise funds for the Utah Scottish Association!

We have over 50 incredible items available to bid on, including a hang-out with the WICKED TINKERS, a handbag from Luss General Store, a private Scotch wh**ky tasting featuring high-quality single-malt whiskies from Darrell McFarland's personal collection, several vintage Scottish decor pieces, vinyl records, minky blankets, and so much more.

Plus we're still adding items as they come in, so there truly is something for everyone.

The silent auction will run now through December 02, so you have plenty of time to explore!

The Utah Scottish Festival has meant a lot to us over the years. We’ve played this festival for 27 years and many of the people there have become part of our extended Scottish family.

This year, the Utah Scottish Association, its board, volunteers, performers, athletes, pipers, dancers and vendors were all victims of an alleged crime who left the Association struggling financially and trying to make things right.

Even if we hadn’t been directly affected by what happened, we would still gladly be sharing their Zeffy donation link. We’ve been part of this festival for nearly three decades, and we want to see it survive and continue for many years to come.

Any money donated through this link goes directly to the Utah Scottish Association to help cover its outstanding debts and keep this festival going. Zeffy does not take any fees. Even a small donation makes a difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing the link will help, too.
