So what is a "Highland Games"
A Highland Games is a day(s) long celebration of Scottish heritage, combining aspects of sport and culture. Think of a county fair and a track meet all rolled into one.
The “games” part consists of men – and women – competing in the traditional Scottish “heavy athletics” events: throwing various weights, stones, and the caber (a pole) for distance, height or accuracy. Multiple events occur all throughout the day.
Celtic music performers are featured on stage. Pipe and Drum bands perform as entertainment, in competition, and as accompaniment to Highland dancing – both performances and dance competition. All the participating pipe bands combine in parade to open and close the event, and to "Call the Clans".
Scottish Culture is celebrated with Clan displays, genealogy & educational exhibits and Celtic food and merchandise sales. And not to forget the drink – whisky, beer and more.

GILBERT REGIONAL PARK
The Town of Gilbert opened this fabulous facility in early 2021. It features a large festival area, a concert field, ample washrooms and a gigantic Kids play area. Dogs are welcomed! As with previous locations, we will occupy a fenced area within the larger Park, which remains open to the public. The public play area is adjacent to our fenced grounds, but accessible in-and-out to all attendees. There is on-site parking. Check out the Park website.
