Brooklyn is our New Scotland
Hello Everyone,
Our festival committee would like to let everyone know that we have NOT raised our admission price for entry to our Highland Festival & Games on Sunday, October 13, 2024, which have been moved to the Brooklyn Connecticut Fairgrounds.
That being said, we would also like to let you know about parking at the festival. We will no longer have to use shuttle busses to bring you in, there is plenty of parking on level areas very close to our gate entry. In the past, we have had to beg & borrow people from many different groups to try to assist us with the parking at all of our different locations.
This year and as long as we will be at the Brooklyn Fair grounds, the Mortlake Fire Department will Happily be performing the parking lot duties for us.
WE would like EVERYONE to know that there will be a $3.00 charge for the parking of ALL vehicles and all of that money will go directly to the Mortlake Fire Department for this very much needed assistance.
WE would like to thank the Mortlake Fire Department members for this assistance and appreciate all that this task entails. We look forward in working with you and all of the Brooklyn Fair committee as we move to our new home, "Brooklyn is now our Scotland" , we hope that everyone will enjoy all of festival to come. See you on Sunday, October 12, 2025 at the Highland Festival::)))
