    Celtic Fest Chicago Pics

    We had a nice turnout over two days of the Celtic Fest. Galician flew in from New York. jjoganic was there from Tucson & Chicago. Brewboy was there briefly on Saturday, but returned on Sunday with his lovely lady Megan. Stephen (possible future Xmarker), a friend of Galician from Wheaton College, joined us both days. And Auld Argonian was there on Sunday with his lovely daughter.

    I'm going to start off the thread with some pictures from Saturday. I believe the others will add some pictures later.

    I was wearing MacLeod of Harris with a belt from Oconee Leather, Thorfinn badger sporran, and a walking stick from Kilted Carver.


    jjoganic was turned out in a MacAllister Tank


    Brewboy dashed in briefly in Irish National and Galician was wearing a limited run New York tartan with twin black stripes in memory of the twin towers of the World Trade Center


    Stephen was wearing a Hamilton Grey kilt.


    The evening ended with a concert at the Petrillo Band Shell featuring McPeake


    More pictures to follow from others. Gaelic Storm was the headliner at the Petrillo Band Shell tonight - a great concert.

    Nice pics. I love seeing the different tartans. Galician's looking cool in his shades. I'd really like to see a better pic of his limited run New York tartan.

    My belt had slipped a bit due to wearing sporran hangers. But it's an off-the-rack PV kilt. I wear it almost at military height in order to keep the bottom at the top of my knees.
