Last Saturday I went to downtown Estes Park with my friend Jessie to see the annual “Scottish Irish Highlands Festival Parade”. I had been told by many of my friends that this event was a treat to see and I was lucky I was staying through September so I could see it. Jessie and I drove to downtown Estes Park (which is really just one main street) and staked out a spot on the curb to watch the parade. We chatted and people watched as the crowd gathered to see the parade. We were also cracking up at the cop dressed in a kilt and riding a segway–he looked kinda ridiculous.
I ended up taking a lot of video of this parade, so I’ll just let the video speak for itself. There were many high points though out the parade, but I think my favorite part was the different dog breeds from the British isles. So cute! It’s true, that I have never seen so many bagpipes in one place before! And now I know the name of that one song in particular that they always play: “Scotland the Brave”. Ug, that song was stuck in my head all day…
