Following on the success of the Stirling Bridge International Arts Festival, the Scottish American Festival has taken on the mantle of inviting musical groups to Scotland to perform and share the stage with other local groups. The performance opportunities are in many exciting varied locations throughout Scotland. We work with our American directors to make sure there is a balance between the number of performances and sightseeing with their participation. The festival aims to encourage musical innovation amongst the performers; with the emphasis on our worldwide love for music as a foundation for connecting, regardless of musical abilities, affinity, or age.  The festival strives to enrich Scotland’s musical arts scene with engaging concerts.

We have not only hosted groups from America, but have also invited many other groups from other countries such as South Africa, Canada, Belgium, Croatia, Germany, and more.

What people are saying about the festival

"We particularly liked the High School band from Texas who came off stage and played up and down the aisles. The music was very emotional and we were both in tears at one point. They were truly magnificent. Also the South African Children’s Choir were great but all groups were very good and we had a thoroughly entertaining evening. Thanks once again for giving us the opportunity to attend this event.”

"One of our Telephone workers was chatting to a carer after the show and she told us that it was the best evening’s entertainment he has been to in years, he could not believe that as a carer something like this was offered. The carer loved every part of it but was very complimentary regarding the children’s choir and their fantastic choreography."
