Therefore, this day is about celebrating all that is good about Scotland: its people, its history, its heritage, its culture and it’s legacy to the world. As a result, they wear traditional Scottish dress and march with their clans, associations, and some societies.

Tartan Day Parade

Similarly, Tartan Day is known for its parade with bagpipe bands and Highland dancing. Tartan Day Parade starts on 45th Street and moves up 6th Avenue to 55th Street. At the same time, Hundreds of bagpipers and drummers in bands from all over America join the parade. During the parade, thousands of participants march their way to show support along the route – so it can get a bit noisy! Such as, Drummers, highland dancers and Bagpipe players all join together to take part in the parade.

Thus, the free program includes pipers, drummers and highland dancers to showcase Scottish culture. Attendees of non-Scottish get a chance to experience the nation’s traditional music, drink, and tasty food. Hence, there are a lot of dancing on Tartan Day and over the years it has been expanded into a week-long programme of events.
