Moncton Highland Games (Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada)
Welcome to the site of the 2nd Annual Moncton Highland Games!
Updated June 18, 2008. Dancing, Piping & Drumming and Heavy Athletic results posted.
2008 RESULTS:
Dancing Competitions
Piping & Drumming Competitions
Heavy Athletics Competitions
Once again, this year's event was a tremendous success, with accolades from all who attended, including very positive reviews and coverage from the local and regional media. This year's event promises to be even better, with the games now extending to a two-day event that includes an even wider variety of events certain to appeal to all.
As well as the traditional events associated with highland games, such as piping contests, highland dancing, and those unique Scottish athletic events (tossing the caber, hurling the hammer, etc.), the Planning Committee will be adding a demonstration of sheep shearing, wood carding, spinning and weaving -- the whole process from sheep to shawl including sheep dog trials, a fly-casting competition, and on Saturday night, a traditional Scottish ceilidh!
There will be a large assortment of attractions on site including tents hosted by a number of Scottish clans, a geneological tent where you can find information on your Scottish heritage and ancestors, displays of Scottish crafts and cooking and a boutique where you will be able to see and purchase a huge variety of Scottish dress and accessories.
The categories below should contain the information you require to come celebrate Scottish Culture in Moncton.
