Each August, the tradition of Highland games comes alive for two days at Highlands Heritage Park, thousands of miles from the land in which they were born. The centerpiece of the Games is competition in three major areas -- Highland dancing, piping and drumming, and traditional Scottish athletics. In addition, Scottish food and beverage is offered, and a variety of other events are scheduled throughout the weekend to interest every family member. Musicians fill the air with traditional Scottish music. Members of the public can trace their ancestry at our Scots' Heritage Centre, (featuring information on genealogy and clan history) participate in Scottish country dancing on the green, or just enjoy the sights and sounds of Scotland. The skirl of the Massed Pipes & Drums at the Midday Ceremonies fill the air with the feeling of a day in the Scottish Highlands (without the fog and drizzle). Vendors display traditional Scottish wares in the Market Square. Even the "wee bairn" have their own activities so that their parents can fully enjoy the day.
