Run entirely by a team of volunteers, our signature event is the Southeast Florida Scottish Festival and Games held on the 1st Saturday in March at Plantation Heritage Park. A portion of the funds raised by the Festival and other SASSF events are used to award scholarships for instruction in Scottish music, language, Highland Dancing, as well as academic pursuits.

Members, as well as guests, are encouraged to attend and become involved in planning for the annual Scottish Festival & Games.
