7th Annual
GATHERING OF THE CLANS
HIGHLAND FESTIVAL
August 23, 2025 

ABOUT

The Gathering of the Clans Highland Festival (GOTCHF) is a public event hosted in Sedgewick, Alberta. 

​

It's a day full of highland activities, such as heavy events, highland dancing, festival entertainers, a kids zone, artisan and food vendors, and more. The day concludes with a Cèilidh (dance) (pronounced kay-ley) performed by a live band!

​

​We look forward to Cabot's Crossing as our Ceilidh headliners this year. For an idea of what to expect, see the lineup of entertainers, demonstrators and vendors from our 6th GOTCHF below.
