Join Clan Paisley Society USA at the Middle Tennessee Highland Games and Celtic Festival on Saturday September 12th and Sunday September 13th, 2026. The Games are being held at the spacious Sanders Ferry Park in Hendersonville TN. Gates open at 9am on both days. Get more information and tickets here: https://www.midtenngames.com/

Clan Paisley will be one of 50+ clans ringing the athletic field. Bagpipe bands will set the mood. Bring your tartan and march with Clan Paisley at the opening ceremonies on Saturday (normally at noon). A record number of vendors have been selected to provide food and items for your Christmas shopping.

On Saturday night, Sept 12th, Clan Paisley will have a casual fun gathering at the Tailgate Brewery just 1 mile from the Games. Get more information and see the menu here: https://www.tailgatebeer.com/hendersonville .

There are several hotels on Main Steet in Hendersonville. Jay and I will be staying for the 3rd year at a renovated old motel Drakes Creek Inn, 179 West Main Street, Hendersonville, TN 37075. [I just checked and it may be completely booked!]  Hendersonville is a suburb of Nashville (18 miles from downtown), so you might also consider a hotel in the city and extend your stay to enjoy the Nashville scene.

Let me know if you are coming!
