Traditional Highland games with a Celtic cultural festival will be held in Regina during the May long weekend.
Spectators are always delighted at the high level competitions in Highland dancing, pipes and drums and Scottish heavy athletics featured during the event. Organizers take great care in supplementing the games with an array of Celtic themed entertainment and activities for the whole family. Entrance fees are at the very low end of the spectrum for an event of this size and caliber.
The Saskatchewan Highland Gathering and Celtic Festival incorporates older Highland Games events in Regina and Moose Jaw that have been running since the early 20th century. They promote all things Scottish and Celtic and provide an excellent opportunity for members of the local and neighbouring communities to get involved and showcase their talents and promote their wares.
Pipers, drummers, dancers, heavy events athletes, and enthusiasts from all over Western Canada come to southern Saskatchewan each year on the May long weekend to participate in this exciting line-up of events.
This year, they have partnered with the Regina Hotels Association and other sponsors to make the weekend bigger and more spectacular than ever, with more events, more for everyone to do, and more great reasons to stay in Regina while taking in the weekend events!
In true Scottish hospitality, the fathering provides a friendly environment for members of the public to come and watch the various events taking place including the piping and drumming, highland dancing, heavy events, and the very popular festival tent. After watching favourite event, residents can take a stroll through our vendors market and pick-up something uniquely Scottish like a clan badge, sporran, sgian dubh (skeen doo - black dagger) or even a kilt! Food and refreshments are available all weekend and we have some very special events in both Regina and Moose Jaw.
