This is the event that was previously known as the "Grapevine Lake Celtic Heritage Festival & Highland Games" … and has now has been relocated and renamed.

This is a two-day Festival with a lot of energy!

This new venue offers an opportunity for expansion and appears to be a great location. Clan Buchanan will be proudly represented and looks forward to celebrating our Heritage with our fellow cousins who I hope will come and join us! It offers family fun, unique promotional opportunities, and a chance to support what is one of DFW’s outstanding events of the year. 

Thousands of spectators attend this annual festival to honor their Celtic Heritage. 

Come watch one-hundred Scottish Highland Games athletes competing on the field, browse dozens of merchandise vendors, and cool off in our beer garden while listening to some of the hottest Celtic bands in the country. Support local dance studios as their students perform traditional Irish dancing. Celebrate tradition and heritage at the Clan Village with the backdrop of a traditional Scottish pipe and drum band. 

Proceeds from this festival benefit local food banks!
