New Yorkers can experience a taste of Scotland with free street food, live music, and high-energy ceilidh dancing as part of NYC Tartan Week with VisitScotland.

Scotland’s Snack Shack

Starting at 12pm, VisitScotland will take over 5th Avenue and E 20th Street, opposite Madison Square Park, with a pop-up food truck: Scotland’s Snack Shack.

Food lovers can enjoy complimentary, mouth-watering Scottish street food created by Chef Clare Coghill, owner of Café Cùil.

The menu features classic dishes with a Scottish twist, inspired by Chef Clare’s Hebridean heritage: Lobster rolls with Isle of Raasay Distillery whisky butter, veggie haggis quesadillas, and Scotland’s most popular soda, Irn Bru.

A Highland Coo-R code will also be available for visitors to scan for more information on planning a trip to Scotland with travel itineraries, suggestions, and advice. RSVP Here!

Scotland’s Spring Fling

After indulging in Scottish flavors, New Yorkers can step into a whirlwind of music and dance at Scotland’s Spring Fling in the Park.

From 1 to 3pm, Madison Square Park will come alive with a traditional Scottish ceilidh – a high-energy, inclusive dance party led by Mickela Mallozzi, the Emmy-winning host of PBS’s Bare Feet with Mickela Mallozzi, and performers from The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Attendees can jump in, learn some easy dance steps, and experience the electrifying energy of a Scottish ceilidh – all while standing a chance to win roundtrip flights from New York to Scotland, courtesy of JetBlue. RSVP Here!
