Colorado Tartan Day was created in 1996 by the Colorado General Assembly to celebrate the rich contributions of Scottish Americans to the State. The Festival welcomes all to celebrate family, community, nation, heritage and the human need for connection.

The Colorado Tartan is a beautiful display of patterns of color representing Colorado; pure blue for clear crisp skies, green for the pine and spruce that spread across the land and the yellow and red within the state flag. Many of the Colorado Tartan Day council members will be wearing the state tartan which will be available for order.
