Estes Park Scottish Irish Highland Festival
- Sept. 6-9
Once a year in Estes Park, logs and hammers
fly, people dine over haggis and plaid
is in. For those longing for the sounds of
bag pipes and cannons over lush green hills,
this Scottish and Irish festival 70 miles from
Denver is the closest thing in Colorado.
Enjoy contests of strength and stamina,
such as the hammer throw and caber toss.
The caber is a tree trunk averaging 19 feet
long and 120 pounds.
Other entertainment includes a parade,
dancers performing Highland, Folk and
Irish dances, sheep dog competitions and
tartan displays.
