JOIN US THIS SUMMER FOR A GRAND MEETING ON THE MOUTAIN!
All International Clan MacFarlane Society members are cordially invited to attend the Clan MacFarlane 50th Annual World Gathering and General Meeting, where MacFarlanes from all over the globe will come together to celebrate our shared culture and history. Mark your calendars and join us for this special event. July 6th – 9th, 2023. 50 years in the making, we’ll return to the birthplace of our re-established Society – Grandfather Mountain in Linville, North Carolina, USA.
This year’s celebration will take place during the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games (GMHG). One of the oldest Highland Games events outside of Scotland, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games celebrates all things Scottish, with traditional music, dancing, and athletic competitions. Plus, there will be plenty of food, drink, and vendor stalls to enjoy.
This year’s World Gathering is a self-guided event. Attendees will need to secure their own travel to and from the Games and events and well as purchasing their own event tickets.
