The events are in Balboa Park, near the International Houses and the Air and Space Museum. Tartan day runs from Noon to 4pm, and our spring dance starts at 5pm.
Spring Dance
Our Spring Dance starts at 5:00pm on April 6th in the Balboa Park Club – a beautiful venue in Balboa Park, just behind the international houses. The dance has an early evening start to fit well with our Tartan Day Celebrations. View the Spring Dance Flier and the Cribs for the Dance. Here is the Spring Dance MyStrathspey link to the dances, for videos, diagrams and more.

This is a fun event which includes traditional food and drink, dance, music, children’s activities, clan booths, live entertainment (including the House of Scotland Pipe Band), and so much more! This event runs from Noon until 4pm. Our Scottish Dance group will perform some demonstration dances in the afternoon and will have a booth as well. Please come along and say hello. Our Spring Dance begins at 5pm, so to make a complete day of Scottish events we encourage you to come to San Diego early and immerse yourself in Scottish culture for the day.
