Scottish Festival
On Sunday 14th February the Canterbury West Coast Centre of the Piping and Dancing Association participated in a Scottish Cultural Festival afternoon. The venue Riccarton House and Bush was picture perfect and the afternoon remained fine and sunny. It was estimated some 2000 people attended.
The main theme was a Pipe Band Competition, however there was whisky tasting, Scottish Country Dancing and Highland Dancing displays. The afternoon also included a wonderful Vintage Car display and men and women in Edwardian and Victorian costumes.
A grand parade took place around 2pm and the afternoon was completed with a Haggis Ceremony at 4.30pm.
This event is organised by the Canterbury Burns Club in conjunction with all other Scottish organisations in Christchurch. The future of this Scottish Cultural Festival is very bright and it is envisaged that a Highland Games in Christchurch will eventuate. Wonderful prospect for the Garden City.
