    It’s been 123 days since our 2020 May Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games rescheduled, due to the pandemic. During this time we have been working hard to find a new venue for the fall dates. It has opened up some great opportunities for future events and communication with other organizations. Unfortunately, we were unable to secure a new venue in time for organizing October dates. We are sadly announcing that we will have no official games this fall. We will be returning to Wise County Fairgrounds, April 30th - May 2nd, 2021. We are moving forward with festival planning assuming that there will still be COVID restrictions and will be using all recommended CDC guidelines. Thank you for hanging in there with us during these difficult times. We want you to know how much we appreciate your support of our Texas Scots Organization.

    To those of you who have purchased TICKETS, Scottish CLAN VILLAGE or VENDOR SPACES for May 2020 event and have not requested a refund(by September 14, 2020 at 10pm) we will apply your purchase to our May 2021 event. We would appreciate it if you are able to apply your 2020 festival purchase to 2021 for a number of reasons. Mostly the unexpected resources and costs required to process refunds. As an incentive, if you apply your 2020 ticket to 2021 you will be entered to win an Ancestry DNA Kit to one person. This Ancestry DNA Kit winner will be announced on Wednesday, September 16th, 2020.

    With the announcement of the cancelation of the 2020 Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games we will extend our refund window to September 14th, 2020. We have not historically offered refunds, BUT we believe with this crisis not only a being a medical crisis, but a financial crisis for some, and want to try to support our community the best we can. We are a volunteer organization and do not have a traditional staff to manage the refunds and would appreciate your patience while we deal with this unexpected situation we are all in due to the pandemic.

    Ticket sales for April 30 - May 2, 2021 TSF&HG will open at a 'Discounted Price' on September 2, 2020. This limited time offer will be available until November 1, 2020.  Please note that our 2020 discounted price is lower than 2021 early bird pricing as we will be adding charges to cover additional CDC equipment onsite and increase in festival venue fees. As of November 1, 2020 the TSF&HG 'Early Bird Pricing' will in some cases increase to accommodate fewer attendees(to allow for social distancing) and increased sanitary operational expenses, to make sure we are following CDC guidelines. This 2021 'Early Bird Pricing' will run until April 1, 2021. 

    We want to make sure that our messaging is clear and visible. You will be seeing this information over the next 10 days via our social media outlets & email list. If you have friends who attend the TSF&HG with you, please reach out to them if you feel they may have missed this information. We appreciate you being an active participant in this process.

    We plan on doing the best we can, to provide the safest, most exciting environment for you to enjoy the Games, Music, and take us on another magical ride to a wee bit of Scotland in Texas. There are several festival models under review, from assigning seat locations, designating areas for families and one way traffic systems. Our operations are subject to guidelines set forth by the State of Texas, Wise County and the City of Decatur. That being said, everything we do is with your safe experience at the center of our decision making process.  Your safety and positive interaction at all of our events is our top priority.

    With your loyalty and support, we hope to make 2021 Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games the best yet. We have plans to bring in even more pro-athletes--including women. Let us know if you would like to get involved. We love our volunteers. Sign up for our volunteer data base on our website.
