About the Event
House of Burnett Conveners: Lauren and Matt Burnett
The Longs Peak Scottish Irish Highland Festival has been a highlight of September in Estes Park for 47 years; with Celtic Music, Ethnic Dancing, Bag Pipe Bands, Scottish Highland Athletics, & representatives of many Clans.
In the early 1970's Estes Park was like most mountain towns relying on summer tourism with ended with Labor Day weekend. 47 years ago the festival's founder, a resident of Estes Park, had a vision to extend the fall season to the valley. He started this festival recognizing that September was a beautiful time for people to come to the mountains and with the perfect temperature, all that was needed was an event. And the Longs Peak Scottish Irish Highland Festival came into being. Over the years this Festival has become the most attended event in Estes Park and one of the largest Scottish Festivals in the Country.
