To kick-off the celebration, Fremont Street Experience invites Las Vegas locals and visitors to celebrate with free Celtic entertainment on Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12.
Each night at 8:15 p.m., The LA Scots pipe band will start the festivities by parading from Golden Nugget to the 1st Street Stage where they will perform. Los Angeles Scottish Pipe Band, popularly known as The LA Scots, is the premier pipe band of the United States and a world class competitor.

The Las Vegas Celtic Society began the annual Las Vegas Highland Games celebration 10 years ago to honor Celtic culture and tradition. Highland Games are a unique mix of sporting, cultural and social events and usually include field and track, piping and Highland dancing competitions, as well as ‘heavy events’ like tug-o-war, hammer throw and caber toss.
