Antigonish Highland Games

The Antigonish Highland Games are the oldest continuous highland games outside of Scotland. 

First held in 1863, this early July tradition welcomes visitors and participants from around the globe. 

The Antigonish Highland Games are staged annually by the Antigonish Highland Society, which was established to preserve Scottish culture and traditions. 

The week long schedule will be jam packed with competitions featuring athletes, pipers, drummers, and highland dancers from across the country and around the world. There will also be the blend of Scottish flavoured ceilidhs, clan activities, and concerts.
