The story
Bitterroot Celtic Games and Gathering in Hamilton
Bitterroot Celtic Games and Gathering opens Sunday morning with a Kirkin' o' the Tartan service, then gives clan gathering tents a place for families and heritage groups to represent their names. Sunday afternoon tea is treated as part of the weekend rhythm rather than just a food stop. Hamilton hosts the full range from ceremony to competition to quiet tradition.
You arrive to the sound first: pipes, drums, and the thud of heavy weights hitting grass, all of it rolling across the grounds while kids dart toward activities and people settle in with a beer or a plate of food under the August sun.
