The History of Tartan Day<\/h3>\n

\nApril 6th has been designated as National Tartan Day, a day for celebrating Scottish heritage and pride. The NYC Tartan Day Parade is usually held the Saturday nearest Tartan Day. The days before and after the Parade are called \u201cTartan Week\u201d and are filled with a full range of Scottish-themed events. This event is part of Carnegie Hall\u2019s Migrations: The Making of America festival.<\/p>\n

In 1998 the U.S. Senate declared April 6th to be National Tartan Day to recognize the Scots, and Scottish-American\u2019s contribution to building America. In 1999, two pipe bands and a small but enthusiastic group of Scottish Americans marched from the British Consulate to the UN –the first New York Parade. Since then, the parade has grown to include hundreds of pipers, thousands of marchers and many more thousands cheering from the sidelines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
