12 Noon Pipe Band Exhibition & Mass Band Play
Ever see a pipe band exhibition? Each band gets the stage for a few sets, and then at the end they all culminate into one MASSIVE performance, piping and drumming all together. So here at this festival you will see The Caledonia Highlanders, Penn York Highlanders, Scranton Black Diamonds and of course BCCPD. The exhibition and mass play will take place on the first fairway of Chenango Commons Golf Course.
2:00 p.m. Slainté! It’s time to rock, dance and eat
Carry on over to the festival tent in the beautiful Orchard at Chenango Commons. Live music with Pat Kane and West ‘o’ Clare, Old Friends, The Stoutmen and a performance by Carle School of Irish Dance! Come hungry and thirsty, McGirk’s will have food and beverages going on while you enjoy the great music.
Stoutmen
9:30 p.m. Move into the Pub
Well, only about 100 or so of you will be able to actually get inside. but if you’re one of those lucky lads or lassies you’ll get to close the night out with The Shambles in McGirk’s Irish Pub, and there’s a pretty good chance some pipers and drummers will want in on this action with a lil jam session on the pipes and drums.
