Manassas lads and lassies are invited to the upcoming ‘Hylton in the Highlands: A Festival of Scotland’. An event hoping to offer something for everybody, guests will no doubt want to bring their fiddles.
Alan Reid and Rob Van Sante will be in concert, and Elke Baker and Brad and Ken Kilodner will be presenting a program called Evolving Traditions of Celtic Music. Children can enjoy Highland games such as caber toss and archery, along with crafts.
Also, guests can participate in Scottish Social and Country dancing and attendees can bring their own fiddles or anything else Irish and join in the jam session with Elke Baker and Brad and Ken Kloldner. A Scottish fiddle workshop will be presented by =Baker.
Other presentations will include ‘Adventures of John Paul Jones’, ‘Bagpipe 101’, and ‘Folklore’. Exhibits will be presented by R.E. Piland Goldsmiths, Sheep’s Clothing, Sonny Feltcher Pottery, and the Scoti, which is a collective of Irish and Scottish artists.
The Taste of Scotland will present a ‘Full Afternoon Tea’ by Things I Love, and a ‘Burns Supper Evening’, which is a formal dinner complete with haggis, drinks, and a recitation of works by Scottish poet Robert Burns. This occasion is ripe for taking pictures for later postcard printing.
The event will be held Saturday, January 24, from 10:00 am till 6:00 pm at the George Mason Performing Arts Center in Manassas.
