Background:
Scotfest is an authentic Scottish festival and a celebration of Scottish, Irish and Celtic culture. This amazing event consists of folk, roots, rock & pop music, highland athletics, pipes & drums, highland and Irish dance. Whisky tastings, vendors and a great selection of beer and food from the Scottish, Irish and British homelands.
The festival is always held on the third weekend in September in the Broken Arrow Events Park. With current construction activities occurring in Broken Arrow Events Park, Scotfest will celebrate its 44th year at Central Park.
Due to the temporary re-location, patrons will continue to utilize Northeastern State University (NSU) for parking. To facilitate event goers to and from the event, Scotfest will be providing a shuttle service to and from Central Park and NSU.
As a result of the temporary re-location and the need to provide shuttle services for the event, staff recommends approval to participate in cost sharing of the shuttle services. Funds would be utilized from the operating budget of the Convention & Visitors Bureau-Visit BA (Acct# 2271700-530870).
Cost: $8,750
Funding Source: Fund 227
