What it is

Celebrate Scotland's rich cultural heritage at Auckland Museum's lively Tartan Day. The day kicks off with a lone piper on the Museum steps and a ceremonial procession of the clans, before filling the Te Ao Mārama South Atrium with live Highland dancing, fiddle music, and captivating storytelling.

Whether your family has Scottish roots, a fondness for Celtic culture, or simply fancies a fun day out, there's something for everyone — including the chance to join in a traditional ceilidh dance together.
