We have lived in the Ottawa area for a number of years and have always heard nothing but good things about the Glengarry Highland Games. Yesterday we experienced the games for the first time. It was like stepping back in time! The camaraderie and joy we witnessed by all participants, from the athletes, to the fiddlers to the dancers was very impressive. All of the volunteers including many of the children demonstrated their love and respect for the Celtic culture and their kindness and politeness was evident throughout. The evening show of the Tattoo was world class, the sights and sounds of the pipers, drummers and dancers were breathtaking. The people in the audience were also very respectful and made the whole experience worthwhile. We are definitely going back next year.

Great venue if you like bagpipes, caber toss, and haggis! There are a lot of kiosks on site as well where you can buy aforementioned foods as well as daggers, kilts, and all other things Scottish and by extension, anything UK related. The opening and closing ceremonies feature ALL the pipe bands from across North America. This year, 1400 pipers and drummers closed the games. Most impressive. Besides the pipe band competition, there are also old school track events, dance competition, as well as musical entertainment. It's a very well set up festival. Totally worthwhile!

My family and I had been to the games about 8 years ago. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We decided to make the trip again this year ( 8 hour drive) to watch the events. Again, we were not disappointed. The athletes amazed us on how strong they were. From throwing the hammer, the rocks, the shieves and of course the caber toss. The event had numerous types of food from BBQ ribs to British meat pies. Scottish tartans (perhaps find your family tartan) shortbread cookies etc. The Beer tents were a welcome addition to a hot day. Other things going on were the girls competing on the highland dance, fiddlers, and drummers trying to pass their next level of skills. My favourite of all is the mass bands. Nothing can compare to see the pipes and drums marching in unison playing together. The event show Friday night from 7-10 was excellent. Fiddlers, highland dancers, bagpipers and bands. Once you have gone to see the highland games you will be hooked and want to go again and again. We have been to Edinburgh Scotland to see the Military Tattoo. If you have never seen the tattoo you should put it on your bucket list. There is nothing like it.

An excellent celebration of Celtic culture. The Pipe and Drums competitions, as well as traditional Highland games are a great way to take in a weekend in a fun fair environment. A good mix of vendors for food and drink, as well as Celtic moments.
