Happy Tartan Week 2020 to all our followers, wherever you are in the world!
As we slowly get used to the changes happening around us and the fact that we’ve had to tweak our plans and celebrations ever so slightly, we want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued love and support, it truly means the world to us. We can’t wait for you to see the virtual parade we’ve got in store for you next Monday!
From everyone @nyctartanweek, we hope you’re staying healthy and keeping safe.

Don’t forget when posting about Tartan Week, use our official hashtag #NYCTW and tag us in your posts, we will share posts to our stories..

Though celebrations today around the world are sure to be tame (damn you social distancing!) we wish all our Celtic connections a happy and healthy #stpatricksday!

We’ve taken the weekend to digest the news that left us all reeling on Thursday. Drams were consumed and brainstorms were had until the lightbulb shone brightly...if the parade can’t take place in Manhattan then why not do it virtually for the whole world to see?! On April 6th 2020 we want you to flood our social media accounts with videos and photos showing you in all your Scottish splendour. Post to our page or group on Facebook and tag us @nyctartanweek on Instagram and Twitter!

Gather your pipes and bands and play your wee hearts out, record us a Celtic tune on your fiddle or accordion, sing or recite you favourite Scottish poem, recite your best Burns quote! Don your ghillies, dance around swords, fold yourself in to a yoga position or two in a kilt, wag your furry tails! Young, old, two legs or four, we want to hear from all of you!

Share this across all you channels and friends, we want to see you in all your Scottish finery - let’s make April the 6th 2020 the first ever Global Virtual Tartan Day!
COVID-19, you may take our parade this year, but you’ll NEVER TAKE OUR PRIDE! Alba Gu Bràth .

We’re thrilled to announce that multi-award-winning actor, and star of HBO's Succession, Brian Cox, will reprise his role as NYC Tartan Day Parade Grand Marshal.

Brian will lead 3,000 participants in this year's parade when it returns to Sixth Avenue on Saturday April 4.

His love of America runs as deep as the love he has for his Scottish roots, making him the perfect Scot for the job.

See you all in April! 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Let’s welcome Banff Castle Pipeband to the 2020 Tartan Day Parade proceedings!
Banff Castle Pipeband formed in 2009 by a Father and Son duo, Kevin and Andrew Cook, who are both pipers. Slowly, along with many family and friends, over the next few years the band grew into a fun-based marching band! There are currently 16 active band members and 6 or so learners in the wings.
Clad in Black Stewart Tartan in No2 Dress with the Drummajor in full No1 Regalia, they support as many of their local events as possible, ranging from fete’s to Highland Games.

The desire to attend the 2020 New York Tartan Week Tartan Day Parade has been mainly driven by the Drummajor who has wanted to attend for many years. When he finally decided to do it a few of the band members opted to accompany him.

The Drum Major is a Military Veteran with a full Colour service career in the Corps of the Royal Engineers (24 years Army) and was also born a bred in the town of Arbroath, location for the signing Declaration of Arbroath on the 6th April 1320 which formed the blueprint for the American Declaration of Independence.
We look forward to welcoming your small but mighty group to the streets of Manhattan in April! .

Happy New Year/Hogmany from all of us @nyctartanweek, thank you for an amazing 2019! Here’s to an unforgettable 2020...it’s only 95 days until #tartanday 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🥂 🇺🇸

Merry Christmas from all of us @nyctartanweek to you and yours!

We are so happy that The Edinburgh Academy Pipes and Drums are going to join us for their third trip up 6th Avenue next year for the NYC Tartan Day Parade!
The Edinburgh Academy was opened as a school in 1824 to promote classical learning and teach Greek to compete with schools in England, it had as one of its first members of the Board of Director's Sir Walter Scott. The Pipes and Drums was formed in 1910 as part of the Officer Training Corps which was founded in Great Britain in 1906 and started at the school in 1908, it is now called the Combined Cadet Force at the school. The school has had nine Victoria Crosses awarded to former pupils, the most from any one school in Scotland. It is the highest and most prestigious award of the British honours system and is awarded for valour "in the presence of the enemy"

The school is also famous for its rugby and it has the oldest continuous rugby match in the world against another school in the Edinburgh and they have been playing without a break since 1858. It has had seven rugby internationalists attend the school. Some other famous former pupils who have attended the school are novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell and ‪Coldplay‬ guitarist ‪Guy Berryman‬. Also in 2016 former pupil John Michael Kosterlitz was a Nobel Prize winner in Physics.

Pipe Major Michael Gray has this to say about their forthcoming trip ‘The Pipes and Drums play at many school events throughout the year and have taken part in the Tartan Day parade twice before in 2007 and 2016. The band enjoyed the experiences before - playing up Sixth Avenue and being live on television were highlights of the trip last time. We are all looking forward to coming back in 2020 and visiting your great city again!

Happy St. Andrew’s Day to all!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at @nyctartanweek to all of you! We are truly thankful to you all for your love and continued support!

We’re happy to announce that the Isle of Cumbrae Pipe Band will be joining us for the New York Tartan Day Parade 2020!

The Isle of Cumbrae, or Great Cumbrae is situated just off the West Coast of Scotland, easily accessible by a short 10 minute ferry ride from Largs, Ayrshire. It’s the larger of the two Cumbrae Islands at 4 miles long by 2.5 miles at it’s widest point. This might sound small but it makes it the 45th largest Scottish island out of 790!
The main and only town on the island is Millport with a population of about 1200, swelling to around 3000 in summer.
In 1999 the Millport branch of the Royal British Legion resolved to start a Pipe Band. This resulted in the Isle of Cumbrae Royal British Legion Scotland Pipe Band, with it still going strong today. With a playing corps of about 30, the band have represented the island throughout Scotland and Europe at festivals and events, notably being the lead Scottish band at the Lorient Interceltique Festival in Brittany, France – the largest celtic festival in the world. They have also been regularly invited to play at Balmoral Castle and the world famous Braemar Gathering before Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

Excitingly, for 2020 the band have determined to take part in the acclaimed Tartan Day parade in New York. Wearing their distinctive Isle of Cumbrae tartan they hope to bring their own take on the traditions of the Highland pipe band to the streets of Manhattan. Pipe Major David says “We hope that if you meet us you’ll take the time to say hi - we’re a pretty friendly bunch! Oh, and if you do speak to us, don’t forget to ask about the crocodile on our badge!” We really look forward to officially welcoming you to the 2020 NYC Tartan Day Parade (and quizzing you about the mysterious croc....) We’ll see you in April!
