St. Andrew's Society of Detroit 2024 Highland Games Tickets

Imagine a county fair with lots of people, activities, and food vendors. Now give it a Scottish theme with people in kilts, colorful plaid tartans, strong men and bagpipes. That's the St. Andrew's Society of Detroit Annual Highland Games.

Since 1849, we've been keeping Scottish traditions alive in Metro Detroit. This year marks our 175th anniversary- making us the oldest continuous highland games in North America. Our Games are visited by people of all heritages throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Kilts are encouraged but not required at our event.

CEILIDH (prounounced Kay-Lee) on FRIDAY, August 2 from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

It's the premier Scottish party of the year with an adult atmosphere! Beer tent with live bands and dancing! (check our website for a list of bands).

HIGHLAND GAMES on SATURDAY, August 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Enjoy a family-fun day with all the things of Scotland. The event includes Heavy Athletics, Pipes & Drums, Highland Dancing and Tug O'War competitions.
