Discover the treasures, legends and history of the rich Scottish culture
The Montreal Highland Games and Festival, established in 1855, is the oldest Scottish festival in Canada.
Over the past 40 years, the Festival has become one of the premier events on the North American Highland games circuit.
The Montreal Highland Games and Festival is always held on the Sunday following the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Ontario, which makes it a double-header for pipe bands, athletes, Highland dancers and spectators. Among competitors, this has become known as the M&M weekend.
Every year, the Montreal Highland Games and Festival brings together Montrealers of all backgrounds to celebrate Scottish sport, music and culture.
The day will include pipe bands, highland dancing and heavy weight competitions including the caber toss, sheaf toss, hammer throw and putting the stone from competitors from throughout North America.
Ceilidh Tent: Celtic music will be provided by the Bedlam Boys and longtime collaborators Mariner’s Curse. Don’t miss their high-energy performances and the chance to experience some of the best in Celtic music!
Kiddie’s Corner: The kiddies’ corner features inflated bounce rides, and other free activities designed especially for them.
The Montreal Highland Games and Festival also provides an excellent opportunity to purchase a wide variety of products, accessories and souvenirs of Scottish and Celtic origin.
The Festival represents an exceptional opportunity for participants and visitors alike to discover the rich history and traditions of Scotland.
