California Travel Tips
2018 Lucky Year for Great Scots and Irish
Published on: January 10, 2018
Pictured is California’s Irish Beach which beach lovers consider a lucky place!
If you’re Irish 2018 is a really great year, as St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Saturday. What does that mean? Practically every parade and festival in California takes place on March 17, turning California’s landscape into a field of green, or at Irish Beach it’s plenty ‘o sand.
Every year is a lucky year for the Great Scots and in early 2018 they are already busy planning their fantastic Scottish Highland Games, festivals and events. 2018 begins with Burns Suppers in January, followed by Queen Mary’s Scots Festival in February. (A Burns supper held on or near January 25 celebrates the life of poet Robert Burns, the author of beloved Scots poems.)
