The Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band invade Boundary country this weekend for the 40th annual Pipes and Drums Spring Fling, hosted for the first time in six years by the community of Grand Forks.

The Highlanders will be defending their title they won in 2017 in Kelowna.

It will be the start of a busy spring and summer for the local pipe band.

The Highlanders will play the Falkland Stampede, Fintry Days, Lumby Days and will be in their hometown in Vernon in Polson Park for the annual July 1 Canada Day celebrations.

Long-term plans call for the Highlanders to travel to Barbados in 2019.
