Winnipeg
Scottish Festival The Winnipeg Scottish Festival Inc. is
a non-profit organization whose primary objective is to promote
knowledge, understanding and appreciation of our Scottish
culture and heritage past and present and to encourage the
advancement of pipe band music in the present and for the
future.
The Winnipeg Scottish Festival is an indoor
event held annually during the third weekend in February
at the Winnipeg Convention Centre and is hosted by the Winnipeg
Scottish Festival Inc. and ScotDance Manitoba. The Festival
offers pipers, drummers, pipe bands and highland dancers
the opportunity to compete and receive adjudication from
world renowned judges and instructors and to improve their
knowledge, technique and skills in Scottish pipe band music
and highland dance. This event began as a one day festival
with individual piping and drumming adjudications at a local
high school to a weekend festival attracting participants
and spectators nationally and internationally as well as
local pipers, drummers, pipe bands and dancers.
