International Tartan Day in Australia celebrates Scottish heritage and the contribution of Scottish migrants and their descendants. It recognises tartan as a symbol of clan, community and cultural identity through gatherings, dress, music and history. Gatherings may include Highland dancing, pipe music, clan history and displays of tartan patterns and Scottish-Australian heritage.

Event suggestions:
• Listening to songs and stories tied to public remembrance
• Mapping International Tartan history through artefacts, timelines, and dialogue
• Exploring historical milestones through guided community memory circles
