2009 heralds the 32sd Anniversary for Williamsburg Scottish Festival (WSF)! Since 1977, we have provided Williamsburg, Richmond and Tidewater surrounding area residents with fun and safe venues and activities in which to experience Scottish culture and history.  WSF 2009 promises to be even more extraordinary than previous years:

• We have a beautiful, expansive and versatile Festival site at Rockahock Campgrounds in Lenexa, Virginia!
• Albannach and Sir David Ross will return from Scotland to give their stirring performances both Friday and Saturday!   Celtic Forces Enterprises is currently negotiating the rest of the musical entertainment line-up.  Several new vendors will join our favorite old-timers to offer their intriguing Celtic wares.
• We have beautiful venues to show off talented Highland dancers, Athletes Bag Pipers, Drummers and Bag Pipe Bands, and a total of $12, 000 in scholarships to be awarded to top performers!
• Festival Sponsors can dress in their finest Scottish regalia, mingle and relax in comfort Friday evening from 7:00-9:30 P.M. at our Balmoral reception.
• The selection for 2009 Honored Clan will be announced at a later date!

When Rockahock owners Randy and Angie Caldwell built their campground resort, they did it with two main goals: pristine nature campsites and a complete festival infrastructure.  Well, they did it! Annually, Rockahock is home to music festivals of many genre, car and motorcycle rallies, Guinness Worldbook competitions, and now, the Williamsburg Scottish Festival! .In addition to festivals and camping, Rockahock offers boating, fishing, hiking and exceptional bird-watching—not to mention an on-site old fashioned saloon and fine dining at the Fox Hunter Grille. 
We dedicate the 2009 Festival to the U.S. Military and 1st Responders. .Active duty military, law enforcement, firemen and ambulance crews will receive significant discount on admission prices to the Williamsburg Scottish Festival. 
Each year, WSF gets bigger and better.  On behalf of the WSF Board of Directors, I would like to invite you to join the fun at this year’s Festival. The 2009 Festival will host a Mini-Tattoo performed by several award-winning pipe & drum bands and the Ft Lee Army Band; traditional Scottish Dancing, Bag Piping & Drumming, Highland Athletics; Celtic Rock & Fusion Bands; Clan Tents; Historical Re-enactors; Sheepdog Demonstartions; Vendors of traditional Celtic clothing, jewelry, arts & crafts, military memorabilia, Scottish souvenirs, food and beverages of all sorts, and much, much more!!  
 
This year we streamlined and enhanced our website. Not only can you get Festival information and news, you can also communicate with us, order Festival tickets, become a Festival volunteer or Sponsor. You can also register as a Vendor, or Highland Clan, Dancer, Piper, Drummer or Athlete. Additionally, we’re striving to make the WSF website a Portal to everything Celtic in the Williamsburg, Richmond and Tidewater communities, and to other wonder-filled international Celtic destinations available on the web.

Williamsburg Scottish Festival is an official 501c(3), not-for-profit organization.
