Pipers, drummers, pipe bands, organizations, and proud Westies & Scotties are encouraged to participate in Tartan Week's main event - New York's National Tartan Day Parade -- the largest Scottish celebration in Manhattan and one of the largest Scottish parades in the world. UNIQUE among parades, the NY Tartan Day Parade features full pipe bands AND individual pipers and drummers from around the world -- individuals may register AND participate in groups of massed pipers. Last year’s parade participants hailed from Scotland, Australia, Canada, England, France, Switzerland, Pakistan and the United States, with the parade being enjoyed by thousands of spectators in Rockefeller Center.
