The stirring sounds of bagpipes will echo throughout downtown Highlands as residents and visitors are treated to a series of Pop-Up Bagpipe performances.
Organized by the Highlands Chamber of Commerce, the Pop-Up Pipers are scheduled from 4:30 to 5:00 P.M. on select Saturdays, May through October. Dates are May 4, June 1, July 13, August 3, September 7, and October 5.
Highlands Bagpipers, featuring the talented musicians Margaret Tooke and Glenn Morris, aim to evoke the rich heritage of the region. Their performances pay homage to the settlers and laborers from Scotland and Ireland who contributed to the area’s cultural tapestry. Additionally, they celebrate Highlands’ history as a vibrant cultural hub for artists and musicians.
“Whether you’re a longtime resident or a visitor to our picturesque mountain town, these performances promise to put a smile on your face and offer memorable experience for all,” says Kaye McHan, executive director of the Highlands Chamber of Commerce/Visit Highlands, NC.
