阿肯色州贝茨维尔第46届苏格兰节10月25日收官 莱昂学院返校节同庆
10月25日，第46届阿肯色苏格兰节（ScotsFest）在阿肯色州贝茨维尔的莱昂学院校园落下帷幕。这场为期三天的庆典于10月23日开幕，与莱昂学院返校节同期举行，由莱昂学院与 Experience Independence 共同呈献；普通入场免费，仅个别校友活动收费。
阿肯色苏格兰节创办于1979年，是当地历史悠久的苏格兰文化盛会，节目涵盖风笛演奏、高地运动、氏族文化展示与牧羊犬表演等。2026年新增两项家庭活动：10月24日为小朋友举办的“小高地人茶会”，以及10月25日下午1时在校园布莱恩湖（Bryan Lake）举行的首届 ScotsFest 钓鱼赛。节庆最后以传统的格子呢祝福礼拜（Kirkin' o' the Tartan）收尾，为三天活动画上句号，也为莱昂学院返校周落下帷幕。

46th Arkansas Scottish Festival Wraps Up Oct. 25 in Batesville Alongside Lyon College Homecoming
On October 25, ScotsFest, the 46th Arkansas Scottish Festival, concluded on the Lyon College campus in Batesville, Arkansas. The three-day celebration, which opened on October 23 alongside Lyon College Homecoming, was presented by Lyon College and Experience Independence; general admission was free, with only certain alumni events ticketed.
Founded in 1979, the Arkansas Scottish Festival is a long-running celebration of Scottish culture, featuring bagpipe performances, Highland athletics, clan displays and sheepdog demonstrations. Two new family events debuted in 2026: the Lil' Highlanders Tea Party for children on October 24, and the first ScotsFest Fishing Derby, held at 1 p.m. on October 25 at Bryan Lake on campus. The festival closed with the traditional Kirkin' o' the Tartan service, bringing the three days of festivities — and Lyon College's homecoming week — to a close.
