The City of McPherson Bagpipe Band will perform at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Hays Public Library’s Schmidt Gallery. The event is free and open to the public.

This is the third year the pipe band has performed at the Hays library.

Lucia Bain, Kansas Room librarian, attributes the popularity to the fact that the performance is out of the ordinary.

“It’s not every day you get to hear a bagpipe band in Hays,” she said, suggesting coming early to get a good seat.

Concert goers will enjoy Celtic music and learn about the instruments. Members of the pipe band also will explain the heritage of the traditional dress and accessories.
