National Tartan Day Concert
Please join us for an evening of traditional music and dance to celebrate National Tartan Day!
The music of North Atlantic Drift follows a centuries-long tradition of the trading of music and musical styles between Ireland, Scotland and the East coast of Canada. Brian Taheny from Sligo, Ireland, Dan MacDonald from Cape Breton Island and Ross Griffiths from the Ontario piping tradition form this particular trading triangle and the product is a multi-instrumental, multi-styled celtic sound that is truly Canadian in its diversity.
Founded in 1927, the Fergus Pipe Band has a long and proud history. For decades, the Fergus Pipe Band has enjoyed a solid reputation as a street band as well as success on the Ontario competition circuit. The band participates in parades both locally in Ontario and elsewhere. A beloved community organization!
Tartan Day is a North American celebration of Scottish heritage on April 6, the date on which the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320. It originated in Canada in the mid-1980s.
