The experience
What's special
The Arizona Highland Celtic Festival brings the Highlands to Flagstaff's high country under the cool pines of Fort Tuthill County Park, hosted by the Northern Arizona Celtic Heritage Society. The two-day event pairs heavy athletics such as the stone put and sheaf toss with a Highland dance competition, solo piping and drumming, pipe bands, clan and genealogy tents, Highland coos, and whisky, gin and mead tastings
What people love
For many Flagstaff families it is the number-one event on their calendar, prized for the mix of single-malt whisky tasting, caber tossing and live music; the main caveat locals raise is the summer monsoon weather
