18th Annual New York Tartan Day Parade

On behalf of the National Tartan Day New York Committee, I invite you to join us in taking part in what is now the LARGEST celebration of Scottish heritage and pride in America -
The New York Tartan Day Parade on Saturday April 9th. 
 
Pipe bands, clans, dancers and organizations, from across the country and all parts of Britain, from Scotland, England and Northern Ireland, will be coming together for a week-long calendar of events taking place throughout the City. Our website, nyctartanweek.org, will shortly begin listing the full calendar.   
  
Up Helly Aa Jarl Viking Squa
The Vikings are coming. The Up Helly Aa Jarl Squad are coming from the Shetland Islands to join the Parade up the Avenue..
 
From Northern Ireland, we are joined for the first time by The Portavogie Pipe Band, and returning from Lancashire in the north of England, is the Accrington Pipe Band.
 
Of special note are two bands who have been marching in the Parade since the earliest days,  
Pipes & Drums of  Atlantic Watch 
The Parade grows each year with your support and help. If you have not already done so, I invite you to register now by using this link which will take you directly to our registration page. 
   
We will have lots of news to share with you in the lead up to the Parade, follow us on Facebook, Twitter and visit our website for news and updates.
