Tartan Day ![]()
Americans of Scottish descent played a major role in the development of the
United States, and their influence continues to be felt in all aspects of
American life, from politics to music to scientific ingenuity. The United
States Senate officially recognized the enormous contributions made by
Scottish-Americans with the 1998 declaration of April 6 as Tartan Day, with the
House Of Representatives following suit in 2005. Tartan Day is a major
event in The Villages, with performances by pipe bands, Highland dancers,
Scottish country dancers and much more -- and features Marcille Wallis &
Friends. Join the Parade of Tartans and head to The Villages for this
fun-filled event!
