BC Highland Games and Scottish Festival

Add a Comment by Rebecca Bollwitt

The BC Highland Games answer the questions:  Who is the strongest?  Who can flip a huge log (caber) to land perfectly at the 12 o’clock position? Who is the best piper or drummer, dancer or pipe band?  Taking place in BC for more than 100 years, and in Scotland for centuries, these games complete with a full festival with delicious food, concerts, and fun for the whole family.

Enjoy Scottish delicacies, like haggis and Irn Bru while the kids get their faces painted. Pop into the beer garden, and enjoy live Celtic music from The Paperboys and other bands on Lew Ross Field North.  In the northwest section of the park, some of the world’s best highland dancers will be competing. 

Competitions

As the name suggest, the BC Highland Games are all about the competitions. From pipes, drums, bands and dancing, to stone putt, hammer toss, caber toss and more.
