“After a three-year hiatus, we had a successful return of the Indianapolis Scottish Highland Games and Festival last year! The SSI Board of Trustees along with the Scottish Foundation of Indianapolis are happy to announce that the 2024 Indianapolis Highland Scottish Games & Festival will be officially back this year. The event will be taking place on October 12th.”
Highland Athletics
Caber, sheaf, hammer, stone put, weight-over-bar -- the heavy events are what make Highland athletics unique. These events originated from great gatherings held by Highland clans in medieval times where chieftans selected their strongest warriors to compete and inspire others. Some say the games may have even pre-dated Scotland itself!
Entertainment
Pipe bands, traditional and modern celtic bands, dancers, and a talented cast of actors presenting the Scottish Royal Court - all working in concert to bring a lively cultural experience ye'll nae be forgettin.
The tastes
Guests who are of legal age are welcome to come learn about (and sample) fine Scottish whisky. Take in the stories of distilleries and learn about how Scotland's famous Uisge Beatha (water of life) is made and how it may be best enjoyed - with all your friends from the Scottish Society of Indianapolis of course!
The Location
This year, the Indianapolis Scottish Highland Games and Festival will be at the Marion County Fairgrounds. Guests and participants will find ample parking, comfortable facilities, all the food and beverages we love, and plenty of space for showing off just how bonny your knees look in that kilt - and if you dont' have a kilt, you'll find no shortage of suppliers and information to get yourself fully kitted out!
