Announcing the 2025 Instructors
We’re excited to present an exceptional lineup of instructors for 2025 at the Gathering! Discover the talented individuals you’ll have the chance to learn from and engage with.
2025 Donation Match
This year the Pipers’ Gathering is fortunate to have yet another anonymous donor who will match up to $2,000 to bring Ian Kinnear (Scottish Smallpipes) from “over the pond” to our event in August 2025.
Update: We’ve hit the match total of $2,000! Thank you all for your support!
The 2025 T-Shirt is Here Too
Our newest t-shirt features front and back designs and represents the fun you’ll have at the Gathering, Piping Night and Day!
Please note that t-shirts will not be available at the event this year, and have to be pre-ordered.
Update: Our fundraiser was successful and the first batch of shirts will soon be shipped to our supporters. Stay tuned for another opportunity to get your shirt!
We are a community of musicians passionate about alternative bagpipes.
Our Gatherings bring together players of various bellows-blown pipes and related traditional instruments to celebrate piping traditions.
