44th Annual San Diego Scottish Highland Games

By Leave a Comment

The air at Vista’s Brengle Terrace Park will be filled with the sound of bagpipes when the San Diego Scottish Highland Games and Gathering of the Clans mark a colorful 44th anniversary celebration during the weekend of June 24-25, 2017.

Scottish culture will fill the park during the two day festival, which will feature a variety of activities and entertainment for guests of all ages: Sheepdog trials, Highland dancing, Scottish vendors, cuisine and beverages, bagpipe and drumming competitions, clan heritage tents, and hands-on children’s activities.

Athletic lads and lassies can compete in Scottish competitions, such as the caber toss, stone throw, hammer throw and weight for distance.

The festival’s popular beer garden–recognized by San Diego Magazine as the Best Beer Garden in North County–will be a gathering place where attendees can sample flavorful beer varieties, while mingling with friends old and new.

Popular Celtic bands Wicked Tinkers, Highland Way and Banshee in the Kitchen will join United States Scottish Fiddle Champion Mari Black as entertainment headliners performing on two festival stages.

Tickets are $15 for adults (presale $13), $10 for seniors/active military (presale $8) and $5 for children ages 6-16. Children under 5 are free. Presale tickets offered until June 10, 2017.

‘The Wonder Sound’ At New Children’s Museum

By Leave a Comment

Artist Wes Sam-Bruce has built a magical wonderland over at the New Childrern’s Museum.

“The Wonder Sound” is an installation that’s part tree house, part imaginary village that has its own language and its own kid-centric rules.

If you want to climb, you can climb. If you want to hide in a quiet space, you’ll find that, too. The immersive installation is like stepping into a new culture where both kids and adults are encouraged to explore new histories, new languages and even push personal boundaries. Will you climb up the rope maze? Or decipher symbols to create a new language?

“It’s supposed to be transportive,” Sam-Bruce said. “So you are now in this place that feels like it could be a real culture from somewhere, it feels as if you’re in this blend between a factual and a fictional place.”

“The Wonder Sound” exhibit is included in the price of admission. Parking is $10. For additional details call (619) 233-8792.

Voices For Children: Information Session

By Leave a Comment

  • AGES 21+
  • COST Free

Voices for Children recruits, trains and supports volunteers to act as Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASAs, for children in foster care. CASAs can change the trajectory of a foster child’s life.

They focus on an individual child’s needs, working one-on-one with a child or set of siblings. They use information they gather from various individuals on the child’s case and firsthand observations to advocate for the children’s best interests in Court, as well as in other aspects of their lives, such as education, health and living arrangements.

No experience is necessary! We provide all the training you’ll need, as well as a dedicated staff supervisor to partner with you on the case. With just 10-15 hours a month, you can make a difference in the life of a foster child!

Attend an upcoming volunteer information session to learn more:
• Thursday, May 4, 2017 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
• Friday, May 12, 2017 from 12 to 1:30 p.m.
