Event Description

The Games features competitions for Highland dancers, individual pipers and drummers, bagpipe bands, and athletes. Over the years, the competition has grown from just five bagpipe bands to as many as 18; from just 30 dancers to nearly 90; and from only 10 athletes to almost 100. Competitors come from across the mid-west and from all corners of the country.
In addition to competitive events, the festival features many demonstrations throughout the day. In 2012, we will have rugby matches, storytelling, music, art & craft demonstrations, a large children’s area, and much more. There will also be several merchandise and food vendors, many of which will be showcasing Scottish and Irish goods.
