Bagpipes/Drums/Dance/Comedy
Burning up the bagpipes and drums for 25 years now with the fast-flying fingers of not one but two World Champion Great Highland Bagpipers, two world percussionists, and two indefatigable McCrackin sisters; Tartanic takes its audiences on an unparalleled sonic experience with both traditional and not-so-traditional music, dance and comedy. Voted the Best Music Group by Renaissance Festival Royal Choice Entertainment Awards 2010-2025. Tartanic is proud to be an annual attraction at any festival. You owe it to yourself and those in your party to partake in a daily dose of these talented lasses and men without pants!
