Kelso Rotary Serves Up Community Spirit at the 2025 Highlander Festival
The 2025 Highlander Festival brought a lively celebration of Scottish heritage to Kelso this past weekend, complete with traditional music, dancing, athletic competitions, and a strong sense of community. The Kelso Rotary Club was proud to once again be part of the festivities.
From the spirited Scottish dancing to the powerful displays of strength in the Highland Games, attendees enjoyed two days packed with culture and excitement.
A popular stop throughout the festival was the Kelso Rotary Food Wagon, where crowds lined up for the legendary Rotary Burger — a long-time festival favorite. As always, proceeds from food sales supported Rotary’s local service projects and charitable efforts, helping to make a lasting impact in the community.
In addition to serving food, Rotary members shared information about the club’s Rotary Flag Program, which allows residents and businesses to display the American flag on major patriotic holidays throughout the year. The program not only promotes civic pride but also helps fund Rotary’s ongoing community initiatives.
“We always look forward to the Highlander Festival,” said a Kelso Rotary spokesperson. “It’s a fantastic way to engage with the community, raise awareness for our programs, and of course — serve a great burger.”
Kelso Rotary thanks everyone who stopped by the booth, supported their mission, and helped make the 2025 Highlander Festival a memorable event for all.
