Make some room because haggis is rolling back into town.

The Rillito Race Track is hosting the Tucson Celtic Festival and Scottish Highland Games on Friday, November 3 – Sunday, November 5.

Celebrate the heritage and culture of the Celtic Nations just as it has been done for centuries in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

Consider yourself a patron at the festival with the finest haggis made from high quality Kansas cattle.

The mass amounts of Scottish meat pies, fish and chips, and welsh cakes will make you happy you wore a kilt instead of that pair of skinny jeans, too.

The biggest event of the weekend is the Highland Games for Adults, which is a test of strength and athletic ability.

Ticket Prices:

• Adults – $16
• Seniors or Military – $10
• Two-Day Pass – $22
• Kids (6 – 15 years old) – $6
• Wee Ones (Under 6 years old) – FREE
• Daily Parking – $3

The festivities officially take from 9 a.m. – 10 p.m. Saturday, November 4, and continue at the same time on Sunday.

But don’t feel hornswaggled because Pirate Pub Night begins early on Friday, November 3.
