Scottish Renaissance Festival, featuring the 2010 Loch Lomond Highland Games June 19, 2010

Kick up your heels with the Scots this summer at the expanded Scottish Renaissance Festival in Santa Cruz! Held June 19th and 20th, 2010 this family friendly event is proud to announce the addition of the Loch Lomond Highland games, offering all family members an opportunity to experience a time of magic and legend through this authentic event.

The Festival permeates every aspect of Scottish culture as the thoroughfares are filled with the echoes of bagpipes and the movement and reeling of dancers, combined with the thrilling sounds of clashing swords. Meet great kilted warriors and beautiful lasses who will share their stories and music, or step into the marketplace for handmade crafts, jewelry and clothing. Demonstrations of strength and bravery will abound, and with more than 45 artisans and crafters, three stages, games and activities, food and ale, and over 300 costumed re-enactors, this event has something for all ages.

Don’t forget to join us in a time and place where reincarnation of the individual soul is possible, mythical beings appear here on earth, and things are not always as they seem…!
