Canmore Highland Games 2025

Join us for the 2025 Canmore Highland Games!

It seems especially fitting to have a Highland Games in Canmore, as one of the first Highland Games known was organized by King Malcolm III Canmore (1058-1093). Held at a fairly flat meadowland (the Brae O’Mar) along the River Dee, this sporting event was used for a royal contest to find the swiftest and strongest man in the kingdom with the necessary stamina to carry Malcolm’s messages across the land.

While centered on on piping & drumming, dancing, and Scottish heavy athletics, the Games also includes entertainment, food, vendors and exhibits related to other aspects of Scottish and Celtic culture. Come join us at Centennial Park August 30th and August 31st for the festivities!
