International Bagpipe Day was created in 2012 by the Bagpipe Society of the United Kingdom.
By its second year, reports were coming from all over the world, ranging from a pipe band performance in an underground cavern in South Africa to a party on an Athenian hill in Greece. Even Nigeria, a country not often associated with piping, got in the game.
There are over 130 different kinds of bagpipes played worldwide. On this day, all lovers of the pipes organize local events – talks, lectures, school visits, museum events, pipers’ picnics, concerts, gigs, ceilidhs, and folk balls.
International Bagpipe Day hosts the Great Bagpipe Convergence. At noon on March 10th at your local time, everyone participating plays their pipes and posts a photo or video to International Bagpipe Day’s Facebook page:
