The sights and sounds of Scotland are returning to South Florida! The Scottish American Society of South Florida (SASSF) is proud to host the inaugural Scottish-Celtic Music Festival on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds in Davie. This year, we are transforming our traditional Highland Games into a vibrant music festival featuring world-class Celtic rock and traditional acts like Seven Nations, Clovers Revenge, and Gaelica. To make this transition a success, we need your energy and support! How You Can Help? We are looking for dedicated volunteers to assist in various roles throughout the day (9am– 10pm) for the following areas: Ticketing & Gates: Welcome guests and assist with entry at the main and remote gates. Children's Activities: Assist with the "mini-Games" and interactive experiences for our younger attendees. Event Setup and Take Down: Assist with setting up the festival site on Friday and early Saturday. This includes arranging tents, stages, signage, and other infrastructure necessary for the event. Front Gate: Welcome attendees, collect admission fees, place wristbands, and provide information to guests as they enter the festival. Membership Sign-Up: Encourage festival-goers to join the Scottish American Society of South Florida by providing information and assisting with the sign-up process. Program Sales and Raffle: Sell festival programs and raffle tickets, helping to raise funds that support the society's activities and scholarships. Festival Sales and Thrifty Scot Booth: Manage merchandise sales, including Scottish-themed items and memorabilia, at designated booths. Parking Guidance: Direct vehicles to appropriate parking areas, helping to maintain an organized and efficient flow of traffic. Why Volunteer? Volunteers are the heart of our community. Aside from being part of a historic debut for the festival, volunteers typically receive perks such as free festival entry and invitations to our annual Volunteer Appreciation Picnic. Sign Up Today!
