I posted this in the TRF section already, but I thought it fit here as well;

The Houston Highland Games & Celtic Festival will be held the weekend of May 16 and 17, 2009, at the Farm & Ranch Club in West Houston off Highway 6, just north of I-10. They always have plenty of good entertainment, food, fun, guys in kilts etc.... I'll be out both days, hope to see ya' there!

Amongst the exhibitors this time is The Coritani (www.texascoritani.com), who re-enact the daily life of the Celts in Iron Age Britain.  All manner of Scottish, Irish, and English festival foods will also be on offer along with Guinness and St Arnold's beer, snow cones, kettle corn, and other tasty treats.  Many of the goods vendors offer Renaissance apparel, jewelry, and heraldry as well as Scottish and Celtic.

The Welcome Ceilidh will be on Friday, May 15th, 7pm at the Tilted Kilt on Hwy 6 just north of Westheimer Rd.
Look for us on the back porch or just follow the music.

On Saturday, make sure that you arrive before 12 noon so that you can enjoy the spectacle of the Parade of the Massed Pipe Bands that officially kicks off the Games.
On Sunday, Walt MacFadden, pastor of St. Brendan's Celtic Church will be presiding over the Kirking O' The Tartans church service at 10am.

Here's the website for more details:

I'm fairly sure I'll see Aiacha out there, because EJ Jones is playing in two bands!
