150th Anniversary - Caledonian Games

Pleasanton, September 5, 2015, 1:00 p.m.

The Red Thistle Dancers accompanied by Red Thistle Music celebrated with thousands attending the Sesquicentennial Highland Games in Northern California on September 5, 2015. Artistic Director Jennifer Kelly devised a special new dance for the performance finale, aptly named "150 plus 50" to mark both the 150th Highland Games, sponsored by the San Francisco Caledonian Club, and the 50th Anniversary of the San Francisco Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society.
