Skagit Valley Highland Games & Celtic Festival

Canceled due to COVID-19. See you in 2022.
The Skagit Valley Highland Games & Celtic Festival is an annual event at Edgewater Park in Mount Vernon, WA.  Held the second full weekend each July, this Festival attracts over 10,000 people each year. We think of it as a kind of “Scottish 3-ring circus" with a wide range of activities for young and old alike.

 

 

 

Truly, it can be magical to experience Shakespeare outdoors. The Bard set numerous scenes from several of his plays in private gardens, wooded thickets and forest glades. Come experience Shakespeare outdoors and under the stars, the way it was meant to be.
