There are "Highland Games" held in the Czech Republic in August in a town called Zamek near Prague. Full tilt Pipebands. Highland dancing, Athletics, Folk Music and of course the manditory Ceilidh at the end of the day! Happens at the end of August. The things that you didn't know till someone asks a question! I was looking for a mention of a Beltane Festival in the Czech Republic and up that popped!! I agree Bekki, The Celtic World by Miranda Green is an amazing book I wish I could come to the Smithonian to hear her speak in June, but alas too far and time limited:>) A
