Kalamazoo Scottish Festival Association
The Kalamazoo Scottish Festival, a 501(c)(3) organization, is supported by the Michigan Art and Culture Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
We are dedicated to preserving Scottish history and culture in the Kalamazoo area. We also work with a number of Michigan Scottish Organizations and the Council of Scottish Clans and Associations (COSCA).
Our main event is our Annual Festival, held in Kindleberger Park (Parchment, MI). The date for this year's festival is September 12th, 2026. This free, family friendly event has been a staple of Kalamazoo for 30+ Years - in fact, this year (2026) marks the 34th year! You can meet the clans, hear the pipes roar, learn more about your Scottish roots, and have a grand time. Admission is FREE!
We also have several other family friendly events throughout the year, so please check back here and on our social media often for updates!
