Highland Games Kick Off Ceilidh at
the Tilted Kilt
Join us at the Tilted Kilt to kick off the Houston Highland
Games and Celtic Festival. This is a time for vendors,
clan and society representatives, entertainers, competitors
and volunteers to catch up, network or just relax after
Friday set-up day. The general public is invited to attend
as well. The
Tilted Kilt is located on Hwy 6 S, a mile north of Westheimer,
approximately 3 miles from the host hotel. Construction
of the overpass at I-10 and Hwy 6 has been completed
so there is much easier acces than last year. The hotel
will run shuttles at 7 pm and 10 pm for those staying
at the hotel. |
