Enjoy the Celtic Festival and Highland Games in Tucson
A Breath of Fresh Air
Like many of the fabulous Things to Do in Tucson, the Tucson Celtic Festival takes advantage of the adundant sunlight and excellent climate to throw an amazing outdoor event. By taking advantage of the space provided by Rillito Park, the sprawling event was complete with a massive traditional Scottish Highland Games arena. The sheer breadth of the event was a sight to behold!
The Scottish Highland Games were a lot of fun to watch. Watching these little guys toss these huge poles around was a fascinating display of our command over physics. Especially doing all this in a kilt (tldr: miniskirt); I was mesmerized.

Lord Of The Dance
Ever since Michael Flatley took the majesty of Highland Dance to the masses, no Celtic Festival will ever be complete without Highland Dance performances and even a competition or two.
We were indeed treated with professional performances by amazingly talented dances, but my real joy came from watching the kids and young adults during the Highland Dance Competition. It’s really great to see kids so respectful of culture and tradition. The dance portion of this event was a real high-point for me.
Let Them Eat… Hagis?
Of course, I couldn’t pass up the chance to dine on some traditional Celtic cuisine. Who knew Bangers and Mash was as fun to eat as it is to say? And the Cottage Pie was to die for… literally… Darren almost fell in, it was so gooey and creamy.
There were amazing live bands playing in the dining area, offering a joyous and festive vibe to the meal. I really loved the traditional music of Highland Way and they way they fused the traditional and contemporary. The huge tables and open setting also added to the sense of community.

Bungalows
Bungalows were the most popular style of home built during the ’80s and ’90s, with Downtown Tucson and the surrounding areas reflecting this popularity. However, these homes are starting to show their age, so developers that I talk to are gutting and remodeling them. You get a brand new home in a classic Tucson neighborhood!
This is no simple remodel. They are basically starting from scratch, replacing the plumbing, electrical system, roofing; everything but the foundation! They are even adding garages if possible, increasing the value and creating an incredible opportunity for home ownership!
Condos
Condominiums are rare, but they do exist in Tucson. You just have to know where to look. Luckily, I’ve been looking for over 20 years, so I know just what to show you! My team and I have a great track record of finding condos and helping buyers get financing (which can be tricky) so they can start the next chapter of their lives.
