True there are some independent events taking place at that time but the major events have mostly been moved to the parade weekend since that is when most people from out of town will be here for the parade.

The only major event, that I know of, that is happening the week before the parade is the Scottish Villiage in Grand Central Station. The organisers were unable to move the date due to conflicts otherwise they would have moved to the following week as well.

I would love to hear about any events that you know of on Tartan Day though so I can pass then along. Kind of gives us two Scottish weekends here in NY this year.

I'm hoping to get one going in Washington, DC for the Maryland, Virginia, and DC kilted.

Though admittedly, I've never been to a kilt night, much less organized one

(those who have in or around DC, that's your cue: PM me with suggestions, or better yet, let's start a thread in Kilt Nights).

Look at www.thecapitalscot.com the events around Washington D.C. should be listed on their web site.

Thanks for the link -- nothing there yet on this year's events. I'll check back. But I think X-Markers might have their own gathering if they haven't got other plans?

I think I can throw something together by then... It's "first friday" in Phoenixville (which means we'll be open until 9 PM), but we'll try to plan something for this area for after 9 PM.
