A lively outdoor performance shows a band dressed in traditional Scottish attire playing bagpipes and drums on stage. The musicians wear matching red tartan kilts and dark green shirts, and they perform in front of a large Irish flag backdrop. The stage is framed by lighting rigs, with various colored lights illuminating the performers. In the foreground, a crowd of people dressed in green watches the performance, some wearing festive accessories. The setting appears to be a street or shopping area with brick buildings and storefronts visible in the background.

Hit the town to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this weekend, but don’t forget to don your favorite green garb.
