This Saturday Flint Scottish again returns to celebrate 173 years of Scottish culture in Michigan with the St. Andrews Soceity of Detroit Highland Games!

The Annual Highland Games, since 1849, is presented by St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the Scottish heritage through education, musical presentations, and traditional competitions in athletics, piping, and dance.

The Highland Games is a celebration of Scottish culture and heritage. As a part of this celebration, the following events and activities take place: continuous entertainment featuring national and regional artists, pipe band competition, heavy athletic competition, Highland Dance competition, “Parade of Clans” featuring clans from across the USA, diverse marketplace of Celtic crafts, merchandise and collectibles, Scottish and other food vendors.

Here’s hoping we can achieve the same success we did at last year’s festival.
