11 AM - Kirkin’ of the Tartans at West Columbia Riverwalk Amphitheater

Scottish celebration is known as the Kirkin’ O’ the Tartan.

The Kirkin’ is celebrated by Scots – and those who would be Scots – accompanied by prayer, scripture, preaching, blessing, bagpipe, and of course, the singing of Amazing Grace. Now, in present-day celebration, the Highlander patriotism, faithfulness, and strong independence are remembered by the displaying of tartans and a public parade of the clans to the sound of the bagpipe.

Admission:

Children Under Age 12 are free to all Tartan Day South events
