Aug 31 &
Sept 1 Sat-Sun
|
Scottish Games Thirty-five-plus pipe bands and a U.S. Marine Band in a gala presentation is but one part of the huge celebration of everything Celtic at the Scottish Highland Gathering & Games. Celebrating it’s 154th consecutive year, the extravaganza returns to the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, California, over the Labor Day weekend, August 31st and September 1st. Regarded as one of, if not the largest such gathering in the world, the Games have been presented by the Caledonian Club of San Francisco since 1865. The Games moved to Northern and Central California’s largest fairgrounds in Pleasanton 26-years ago in order to accommodate the 25 different venues, that include the 800-plus pipers and drummers, the 45th U.S. Invitational Heavy Event athletics, the Western States Highland Dancing Competition, seven stages of continuous traditional and Celtic Rock entertainment, historic pageantry with Mary Queen of Scots and her Highland Warriors escorts, plus so much more. Add a 100 clan area, Irish Step Dancing exhibitions, falconry, highland cattle and five-a-side soccer, Rugby and Shinty tournaments, and you have a full day’s worth of entertainment. The U.S. Marine Band performs daily with a world-class pipe band in marching and stationary formations, interspersed with the military brass band and the pipers and drummers. Viewed only at these Scottish Games, the Marine/Pipe Band performance is part of the daily Closing Ceremonies along with the 35-plus pipe bands from the U.S. and Canada in front of the massive fairgrounds covered grandstands. The world-class assemblage uses the front straight of the one-mile horse racing track. These annual Games are considered by many as one of the best
“band-for-your-buck” festivals in the world! |

San Francisco Comedy Competition Among the many competitions around the country, the format of the San Francisco Comedy Competition makes winning particularly challenging. The preliminary rounds consist of short stand up sets in six venues, which may include comedy clubs, bars, restaurants, casinos and theaters. Ten comedians proceed to the semi-finals for longer sets in six more venues, before moving to the finals, where the length of the sets increase to 12-15 minutes. Since 2015, the Bankhead Theater has become a popular stop, one of the
last on the semifinal circuit, where the competition keeps audiences on the
edge of their seats … until they’re rolling in the aisle with laughter.

Duarte Garage and Lincoln Highway Museum
Open The Duarte Garage was built in 1915 by F.H. Duarte on the original Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental U.S. Highway. When the Carquinez Bridge opened in 1927, the highway was re-routed. This section fronting the north doors was eventually renamed Portola Avenue. Junction Avenue originally ran past the south doors. The garage sold Associated gasoline and oil products and also performed repairs. In 1923 the south half of the garage was added and became an automobile dealership, selling Durant Star and Flint models. Robert Livermore Jr. was one of the salesmen in the early 1920’s. In the early 1940’s the garage was converted into a machine shop for rebuilding winery and farm equipment. During the 1970’s the City of Livermore purchased the Duarte Garage and surrounding land for use as a park (now adjacent east of the Garage and caretaker's home). The Livermore Heritage Guild signed a lease in 1976 to restore and maintain the garage for use as a museum. The Annual Guild Dinner and Annual Auction are both held in the garage.
The Auction in particular is a favorite for people from all around. |
