Royal courts were centers of politics, ceremony, culture, fashion, diplomacy, and entertainment throughout European history.

The Yosemite Celtic Festival Royal Court draws inspiration from the world of King James VI of Scotland and brings that history into the festival through costume, character, pageantry, and interaction.

Rather than remaining confined to a stage, the court becomes part of the living festival landscape, giving guests opportunities to encounter historical characters and experience a little of the ceremony and personality of Scotland’s royal past.
