12 different groups will be doing concerts at least three time each day that are covered by admission. Only the evening concerts are extra: the Estes Park Tattoo and the International Tattoo, the Folk Concert and Ceilidh Rock Concert. All the bands playing those events can be seen during the day with admission. The price for admission is $35 if you wait until the first day of the festival. We bought ours early and saved quite a bit. It is a great festival.

Will stop by your clan's tent on Saturday to say hi. I am hoping to have our clan tent there in 2026. Clan MacMillan just received the go ahead this summer for "Clan MacMillan of the Rockies" branch to start up.

Same! Yes I enjoyed it. I was only able to attend Saturday, and thinking back were I a smarter man I would have posted what I was wearing to help! If you saw a well fed guy with a purple shirt with "Bruidhinn Gàidhlig Rium" on it that was me. Maybe next year for the 50th.
