Tartan Day planners are appealing to Angus event organisers to send in their events, festivals and shows by the 28 January 2011 to make this year's Tartan Day another bumper success.

This year's festivities take place from the 1^st to the 10^th April 2011 and the programme of events is filling up fast.Make sure you don't miss your chance to advertise your Tartan Day event for free to 10,000 visitor outlets across the North East of Scotland.

Every year, Tartan Day is celebrated in many countries around 6 April commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath. In Scotland, Angus leads the way in promoting Tartan Day to encourage visitors from abroad and at home to visit the area.

The week of events is devoted to highlight the nation's heritage, history, traditions and culture – past and present. It is a time to be proud of our past and to remind others of the contribution Scots have made to the rest of the world.

Tartan Day is remembered through a diverse range of events featuring music, films, food, and dance all with a tartan theme.Last year, the week of special events included a torchlight procession, a Scottish evening, ceilidhs, a 10k run and competitions and it was very much enjoyed by all.
