Featuring he rich heritage of Scotland, the annual festival includes a wide variety of Celtic music, crafts, dancing, food, and plenty of craft beer.
Celebrate all things Scottish at the 57th Dunedin Highland Games & Festival, which takes place this year on Saturday, April 5 at Highlander Park, Michigan Blvd, Dunedin.
The popular annual event features lively music and dancing, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and great company. The flags are flying, the Celts are gathering, and for this weekend, everyone’s a Celt!
Each year, the city of Dunedin honors its Scottish heritage with a day of events from Bonnie Scotland! Scottish heavyweight athletics are a favorite, with events tossing cabers and sheaf bags. Large stones, hammers, and weights are also thrown in good-hearted sport.
There will be piping, drumming, pipe bands and Highland dancing competitions with some of the best entrants in the country. Sheep dogs will show off their herding prowess and the sheep are just plain cute!
Workshops for bagpipes, drums and dancing are offered, or you can take a stroll around the Clan Village where vendors will display traditional and modern Scottish goods. Don’t leave without a bit of tartan to wear to show your Celtic pride.
Try some delicious Scottish food at the food court, along with other food and drink.
