Kilt skating is coming back to Vancouver — this time to downtown. It’s a way for everyone to release their Scot, but you don’t have to be Scottish. And you don’t need to wear a kilt. Come join us wearing a bit of Canada’s favourite colour: tartan!

This will be a general public skate with kilted skaters (and a piper) joining the crowd.  This year, Vancouver is joining with 14 other partner cities — one in the USA and another in Renfrewshire Scotland. Kilt skating is taking off on both sides of the Atlantic.

Organized by: Vancouver St. Andrew's & Caledonian Society

Location: The Shipyards Skate Plaza

125 Victory Ship Way, North Vancouver, BC V7L 0B2

Skating capacity is limited so everyone must first  register HERE.  Wristbands will be issued on the day to those registered to participate.

The Great Canadian Kilt Skate has arrived on the West Coast. It has been a national event now for 9 years, and we’re delighted to host the first annual event in North Vancouver.

You don’t have to be Scottish. You don’t have to wear a kilt. But celebrate your inner Scot by joining us on the ice — and wear a bit of Canada’s favourite colour: Tartan!

Enjoy hot chocolate and, for the adults, a visit to the Tap & Barrel Pub next door for some "apres-skate" entertainment.  There will be bagpiping and Celtic music. 

Don’t want to wait until February 18 to celebrate Scottish culture with bare knees and ice? Join the “Home Edition” of the Great Canadian Kilt Skate — anytime, anywhere. Tag your photos and videos with #kiltskate2023VAN and help us win the title of Kilt Skate Capital of Canada.
