COLUMBUS, Ind. — The loss of major financial support has resulted in the cancellation of the 29th Columbus Scottish Festival normally held in September every year at the Bartholomew County 4-H Fairgrounds.
This marks the second straight year for cancellation, since the COVID-19 pandemic intervened and caused a cancellation in 2020.
The event that brings the culture of the Highlands to the Midwest in the form of everything from food to music to dance to athletics normally unfolds rain or shine.
The gathering generally attracts 3,000 to 5,000 people, from children to retirees, for the weekend, according to organizers’ estimates.
Organizers announced the news on the Columbus Scottish Festival Facebook page.
