September in Oklahoma can be unpredictable! Average temperatures
range from 65-85°F during the day. We recommend
layering your clothing and bringing sunscreen.
Check the weather forecast before you come and dress in layers.
Friday and Saturday nights can get cool, especially if there's
wind!
Yes! Scotfest happens rain or shine. The event is primarily
outdoors, but we have covered areas and stages. Bring rain gear if
weather looks questionable.
We're Scots—we don't melt in the rain! 🌧️

📋 Festival Policies
Food: You may bring small snacks and sealed
non-alcoholic beverages (water bottles, juice boxes for kids,
etc.). Coolers are not permitted.
Alcohol: No outside alcohol is permitted. We have
a beer garden and whisky tasting area with plenty of options!
Service animals are always welcome. However,
pets are not permitted at Scotfest for safety
reasons. Large crowds, loud music, and various activities make it
stressful for animals. Please leave your furry friends at home! 🐕
Yes! Folding chairs and blankets are welcome for
sitting in the grass or at stages. Tall chairs or large umbrellas
that block views are not permitted in performance areas during
shows. Be courteous to others!
Most vendors accept credit/debit cards, but we recommend
bringing some cash as a backup. Some smaller
vendors and clan tents may be cash-only. ATMs are available
on-site.
Yes! Your ticket/wristband allows re-entry throughout the day.
Just show your wristband at the gate. Keep your wristband on for
the entire festival if you have a multi-day pass.
🎉 What to Expect
Your ticket includes access to:
All live music performances on 3 stages
Highland athletics competitions
Piping & drumming competitions
Highland dance competitions
Armored combat demonstrations
Scottish clan villages
Kids area & activities
Cultural demonstrations
Shopping at vendor booths
Food, beverages, and special events (like whisky tastings)

Absolutely! Scotfest is designed for all ages. We
have a dedicated kids area with miniature Highland games, crafts,
and supervised activities. Daytime events are very
family-friendly. Evening entertainment (live music, beer garden)
has more of an adult party atmosphere but families are still
welcome throughout. Kids 12 & under are FREE!
Not at all! While many attendees come to explore
their Scottish roots, Scotfest welcomes EVERYONE. You don't need
to be Scottish to enjoy live music, watch amazing athletic
competitions, drink beer, eat great food, and have an epic time.
Come for the party, stay for the culture! 🏴
Only if you want to be awesome! 😄 Kilts are
encouraged but not required. Many attendees wear kilts, tartans,
or Scottish-themed attire. Others wear regular clothes. Wear
whatever makes you comfortable—just remember it's September in
Oklahoma (can be hot or cool!). And yes, the "underwear optional"
thing is real... 😉
