A festival celebrating all things Scottish will return to Blaine for its second year in the city.
The Bellingham Scottish Gathering will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 7, centering around highland athletic games on Semiahmoo Spit and a Scottish dance championship at Blaine Marine Park.
The event will also have a bagpipe competition and performances, clan booths, Scottish storytelling, beer garden and other entertainment at Blaine Marine Park. A vendors market will have food and merchandise for purchase at the park – selling everything from jewelry to Haggis, the national dish of Scotland.
Judges and competitors for the bagpiping, dancing and athletic events are traveling across the U.S. and Canada for the festival.
Tickets cost $25 for adults and $20 for students, seniors and active military members. Children under 5 years old may enter for free, and four-person group bundles are available for $62.
