High-altitude piping: Tunes and fellowship amidst the Spanish Peaks
Spanish Peaks Piping Retreat
From Thursday, Sept. 19, through Saturday, Sept. 21, come join a welcoming gathering of people who play “alternative bagpipes” — principally Scottish smallpipes and uilleann pipes — in the beautiful Spanish Peaks region of southeastern Colorado. Lessons, ceilidhs, concerts, fellowship, fresh air, and more!
Our inspiring instructors this year are Michael Roddy (Scottish smallpipes) and Will Woodson (Uilleann pipes).
It’s easy to register and pay online.
As an added enticement, the 2024 Spanish Peaks Piping Retreat coincides with the much-loved Spanish Peaks International Celtic Music Festival. The stars are aligned again this year!
Saturday concert ticket
Thanks to the generosity of the Spanish Peaks International Celtic Music Festival, everyone who registers for the piping retreat will receive a complimentary ticket for the Festival’s rollicking Saturday evening concert at the Washington School Theater!
Location
The 2024 piping retreat will take place in the picturesque town of La Veta, which sits way up high in the fresh Colorado air at an elevation of 7,000 ft. Be sure to bring a water bottle so you (and your instruments) can stay hydrated!
We'll be meeting at 109 East Garland Street, La Veta (corner of South Main Street and East Garland Street)
