The schedules for both days are packed with ceremonies and performances from all over California and the East Bay. I’ve never been to one of these events before, but I feats of strength like log-throwing, colorful highland dances, whisky tasting, and lots of kilts. Watch Brave with your kids to get excited.

  I agree. It is adorable to see the children dancing in their traditional garb.
