Please plan to join us in Sherman on Saturday, March 21, 2026, for an afternoon at the 9th Annual Sherman Celtic Festival & Highland Games. This event is a joint activity with the Dallas Camera Club.
The Sherman Celtic Festival is packed with energy, color, music, and motion, making it an excellent outing for photographers (festival map).
Athletes compete in traditional Highland events like the caber toss and stone put, surrounded by kilts, clan banners, and cheering spectators, offering plenty of chances to capture dramatic action and expressive faces.

Around the field, you’ll find pipe and drum bands, dancers in tartan, historical reenactors, and a Viking village, all rich with texture and character for both portraits and environmental scenes.
The family-friendly setting - with vendors, demonstrations, and casual moments between performers and visitors - adds human-interest stories that round out the day. Altogether, it should be a fun, visually varied environment where everyone can experiment with different styles, from fast action to thoughtful storytelling.
